Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral valued for its vibrant range of colors, including purple, green, blue, yellow, and clear. Dakota Stones offers fluorite beads that display distinctive banding and translucency, making them visually appealing for jewelry design. Fluorite is relatively soft, so it is best suited for earrings, pendants, or pieces with minimal abrasion. Its unique color zoning and clarity provide versatility for both statement and subtle designs.
