Pale green tumbled stone, possibly fluorite
Uncertain from the photo; appearance is consistent with fluorite (CaF₂)
AI-generated identification · may be incorrectTranslucent pale yellow-green with a vitreous to slightly waxy surface and irregular, rounded shape. If fluorite, hardness is 4 Mohs and crystals are cubic with perfect octahedral cleavage; the image alone cannot confirm the identification.

Physical properties
Translucent pale yellow-green with a vitreous to slightly waxy surface and irregular, rounded shape. If fluorite, hardness is 4 Mohs and crystals are cubic with perfect octahedral cleavage; the image alone cannot confirm the identification.
Formation & geological history
Fluorite commonly crystallizes from mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids in veins and cavities, across many geological ages. This piece appears tumbled or naturally rounded; its exact origin is not determinable visually.
Uses & applications
Fluorite is used as an industrial flux and source of fluorine, and as a decorative or collectible stone; softer pieces are less suited to everyday jewelry.
Geological facts
Fluorite often fluoresces under ultraviolet light, though not all specimens do.
Field identification & locations
The translucent color and rounded edges fit tumbled fluorite, but similar-looking minerals and glass can be confused with it. Check hardness and cleavage, or use mineral testing for confirmation; fluorite occurs worldwide in hydrothermal deposits.
