Blueberry (Botryoidal) Fluorite, Huanggangliang Mine, Inner Mongolia
Blueberry (Botryoidal) Fluorite, Huanggangliang Mine, Inner Mongolia
Description
This specimen is a botryoidal, or “blueberry,” fluorite from the Huanggangliang Mine in Inner Mongolia, a classic locality known for producing fluorite with unusual growth habits. Instead of cubic crystals, the fluorite forms in rounded, grape-like clusters with softly layered surfaces. The colour is a deep royal blue, with gentle translucency that highlights the depth of the botryoidal formation. Fluorite from Huanggangliang is valued for these sculptural forms, which are less commonly encountered than traditional cubic specimens.
Fluorite is traditionally associated with clarity and focus. In botryoidal form, it is thought to radiate energy more evenly and softly, creating a calming, balanced presence well suited to reflective or quiet spaces.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
