What you say is true; fluorite is sometimes purple, and does appear in some geodes. I do, however, think that it would be rare to find a geode with purple fluorite

Could you tell me stuff about the rock Geode?

Geodes are rock cavities with internal crystal formations, usually made of quartz crystals. Some geodes are completely solid because they are filled with crystals. These are called "nodules". Geodes can form in gas bubbles in igneous rock, or in rounded cavities in sedimentary rock. Most geodes contain clear or white quartz crystals, but purple amethyst crystals are also common.


What is the color of fluorite?

The range of common colors for fluorite starting from the hallmark color purple, then blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black and reddish orange is amazing and is only rivaled in color range by quartz. Intermediate pastels between the previously mentioned colors are also possible. It is easy to see why fluorite earns the reputation as "The Most Colorful Mineral in the World".


The color of fluorite changes due to what?

The color of fluorite changes due to impurities in its chemical composition. Trace amounts of different elements such as iron, yttrium, or europium can cause fluorite to exhibit a range of colors, from purple and blue to yellow and green. The presence of these impurities alters the way the crystal absorbs and reflects light, resulting in varied coloration.


What is the chemical makeup of fluorite?

From a mineralogical perspective, fluorite is an evaporite mineral that contains one calcium ion and two fluorine ions. Calcium may also be substituted partially accounting for different colours of the mineral but it is usually purple.


How much is fluorite worth?

The value of fluorite can vary depending on factors such as color, size, transparency, and presence of impurities. On average, fluorite can range from a few dollars for small, common pieces to hundreds of dollars for larger, rarer specimens. Highly sought-after colors like deep purple or blue can command higher prices.

How was the Purple Gemstone found?

Purple gemstones like amethyst are typically found in geodes, which are spherical rocks lined with crystals. These gemstones form when silica-rich liquids evaporate in gas cavities or cooled at the surface of rocks, creating the conditions necessary for crystal growth. Miners and geologists search for these geodes in specific geological formations where amethyst is known to occur, such as volcanic rocks or in hydrothermal veins.
