Return to Rare Spheres
Yttrium Fluorite is an interesting and rather rare stone. It is fluorite (CaF2) with some of the calcium replaced by Yttrium.
Dale made the sphere. The stone has a very light lavender color. It is rather opaque and fluorescent (purple LW UV). There is notch about half inch long and 0.3″ wide that was in the rough stone. Dale decided not to remove the notch as the size of the sphere would have been considerably smaller.
See more photos of this sphere below.
The sphere has a 1.2″ diameter (30.6 mm). Origin: Mexico.
