Yellow fluorite
Yellow Fluorite: Composition, Colour and Localities
Yellow fluorite is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂), belonging to the cubic crystal system. Its colour ranges from pale yellow to honey and golden tones, giving some specimens a particularly attractive appearance.
Discover our selection of yellow fluorite specimens for sale below. The selection changes as new pieces arrive and others are sold.
In its pure form, fluorite is colourless. Its yellow hues may result from trace elements or defects in its crystal structure. The origin of this colouration can vary depending on the deposit.
Yellow Fluorite from France, Spain and Morocco
Our selection of French fluorite includes specimens from Valzergues in Aveyron and Arbouet in Pyrénées-Atlantiques. In Spain, the Villabona area in Asturias has produced attractive yellow fluorite specimens, while the El Hammam deposit in Morocco is known for fluorite sometimes associated with quartz.
These localities offer attractive collectible specimens, valued for their shades of yellow, lustre and, depending on the individual piece, associations with other minerals.
