Tumbling flatters fluorite; rough reveals it. Untumbled pieces keep the crystal's cleavage planes and glassy fracture, so light enters the banding sideways and the color reads deeper, and many collectors prefer exactly that unflattered look for display bowls and specimen shelves. Practitioners use the rough pound the same ways as the tumbled, grids, bowls, altar dishes, pocket pieces for those who like edges, with the tradition's same focus-and-order file attached, seated at the third eye in Judy Hall's file. The stones order nothing on their own, as we say plainly of every mineral; they show the banded stone's honest face while the concentration stays yours.

1. Fill display and altar bowls; raw faces catch side light beautifully.
2. Seed grids where a rougher texture suits the working.
3. Cleanse with smoke or moonlight; skip long sun and water soaks.
4. Store gently and apart: fluorite cleaves and scratches easily.

• Rainbow Fluorite Tumbled Stones, 1 lb: the polished sibling pound.
• Clear Quartz Points, 1 lb: the grid's directional stock.
• Quartz Gift Box, Set of 12: carved company for the specimen shelf.

Raw or tumbled: which should I get?

Taste: tumbled flatters the banding with gloss, raw shows it deeper in side light, and practitioners use both identically.

Why is fluorite fragile?

It is a soft mineral with perfect cleavage: it scratches easily and can split along its planes, so store it gently.
