How to Use It
Cabinet specimens live or die by their lighting and their angle. Both are worth ten minutes of your time when it arrives.
- Set it on a surface that carries 20 kg comfortably — stone, solid timber or a low plinth.
- Turn it slowly through a full rotation before deciding on the front. Cubic clusters almost always have one face where the geometry lines up.
- Light it from the side. Head-on light kills the edges; raking light makes every cube legible.
- Leave clear space around it — the shape needs air to be read.
- Dust with a dry soft brush. Fluorite is soft and cleaves easily, so no cloths, no water, no picking at the matrix.

✨ Temple Tip
Never lift a fluorite cluster by a crystal. Fluorite has perfect cleavage in four directions, which in plain terms means a cube will part cleanly from the matrix under leverage that would not trouble a quartz point. Two hands, underneath, always.
