In Eastern and metaphysical traditions, green fluorite is associated with emotional balance, clarity, and renewal, pairing the natural properties of the mineral with the serene symbolism of the Buddha.

This color fluorite is an incredibly difficult medium to carve. It has a low ranking on the Mohs hardness scale (only a 4) and possesses perfect four-direction cleavage, meaning it shatters or splits easily under pressure. Because it is so fragile, creating large, intricate, or hollowed-out items (like this piece) required master craftsmanship. Collectors often pay a premium for the sheer skill required to carve the piece without destroying the stone.

Condition: Good to fair overall condition with natural inclusions and imperfections. Nothing missing, no damages, no repairs.
