They are found in many places on the earth. A small percentage of purple fluorite from the Ojuela Mine in Mapimi, Durango, Mexico, shows a beautiful, rich, red fluorescence under UV.

This is a spectacular example of red fluorescent fluorite from Mapimi, Mexico. Under visible light, soft purple cubes of gemmy fluorite are seen on a red/brown colored matrix.

Interestingly, the fluorite also shows dimmer purple fluorescence under short wave UV. Pictured is the actual gemstone being offered. PHOTOS ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL
