Fluorite Mushroom Pendant 3/4"

The Fluorite Mushroom Pendant is a small carved mushroom charm cut from natural fluorite, a calcium fluoride crystal known for bands of purple and green. Fluorite is a soft stone with perfect cleavage in four directions, which means it can chip or cleave more easily than harder crystals, so it's carved and handled with care. This piece measures about 3/4 inch (roughly 19mm) and is finished with a drilled hole or bail for stringing.

Quick facts

About

Fluorite is known for its natural color zoning, often showing purple, green, or both banded together within a single piece, which is part of what makes each carved charm distinct. Its crystal structure gives it perfect cleavage in four directions, a mineralogical trait that also means it chips and cleaves more readily than tougher stones like quartz, so carvers work it more delicately than most crystals. This mushroom-shaped charm shows off that natural banding in a compact, easy-to-layer size.

How to wear it

This pendant is sold on its own, without a chain or cord included, so it's ready for the cord or chain you choose. At about 3/4 inch, it makes a nice occasional accent piece; because fluorite is soft and cleaves easily, it wears best as a gentle-use charm rather than an everyday piece knocked around in bags or pockets.

Care

Important: fluorite is soft and has perfect cleavage in four directions, so it chips and cleaves easily, and it should never be soaked in water, which can degrade its polish. Avoid knocks and sudden temperature changes, both of which can stress the stone along its cleavage planes. Clean with a dry or barely damp cloth only, and keep it out of strong, prolonged sunlight, which can fade its color. This is a decorative item, not a health product or medical device.

Frequently asked questions

Can I soak this pendant in water?
No. Fluorite should never be soaked; water exposure can degrade its polish over time. Use a dry or barely damp cloth only.

Why does fluorite chip so easily?
Fluorite has perfect cleavage in four directions, a crystal structure trait that makes it prone to chipping or cleaving along those planes if knocked or dropped.

Does this pendant come with a chain or cord?
No, the pendant is sold on its own. It is drilled or bailed and ready for you to add your own cord or chain.

Will this pendant's color fade over time?
Fluorite's color can fade with prolonged exposure to strong sunlight, so it's best kept out of direct sun for extended periods.

Is fluorite durable enough for daily wear?
At Mohs 4 with easy cleavage, fluorite is softer and more fragile than many crystals, so gentle, occasional wear suits it better than rough daily use.

Does wearing fluorite provide health or healing benefits?
This is a decorative mineral pendant, not a health product or medical device. No health claim is made or implied.
