Octahedrons have a wonderfully appealing shape - a near-perfect representation of a fascinating platonic solid - two pyramids stuck base to base.
Though the crystals don't necessarily grow this way in nature, these geometric forms are created easily by simply breaking the fluorite along its natural cleavage points. This process is done by hand, and these little beauties result.

Fluorite can be found in many colors, from blue to green, purple to clear. Its crystal habit is very frequently made up of cubic shapes. Sometimes phantoms of other colors can be seen deep within the crystals.
