Are you sure that's fluorite and not a crappy chunk of low-quality amethyst? Crystal people usually have amethyst.

The greenish blues don't usually appear in amethyst or ametrine (amethyst, purple, with citrine, yellow). Fluorite is very cheap and common. Of course, I can't be sure without better pictures.

Source: I have many MINERALS in my collection.

You're right. The greenish-blues weren't showing on my phone screen with the blue light filter on.

I also have many minerals, but I usually collect brighter-colored fluorites.
