Green Fluorite vs Purple Fluorite: Color, Habit & Collector Differences

Green and purple fluorite are the same mineral species, but color can dramatically change the visual character of a specimen. For collectors, however, color is only one part of the evaluation.

What matters beyond color

Crystal sharpness, transparency, zoning, matrix, condition, locality and overall composition can matter as much as hue.
