While forsterite is often celebrated for its green hues, a rare and intriguing variety of the mineral is the colorless fluorescent forsterite. This variant, devoid of the characteristic green color, exhibits remarkable fluorescence under ultraviolet light, glowing with a vibrant blue or violet hue. The fluorescence is due to trace elements like manganese or chromium within the crystal structure. Colorless fluorescent forsterite is particularly valued in the gemstone market for its rarity and the striking visual effects it produces under specific lighting conditions.
Properties and Uses of Forsterite
Forsterite is a durable gemstone, rated 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for various types of jewelry. Its high refractive index and vitreous luster give it a brilliant sparkle, especially when cut into facets. In addition to its use in jewelry, forsterite is also of interest to geologists and collectors for its significance in understanding Earth's mantle processes and its occurrence in extraterrestrial bodies.
Forsterite in Jewelry and Collectibles
The gemstone's used in rings, necklaces, and other forms of jewelry. The colorless fluorescent variety, although less common, is highly sought after for unique and custom jewelry pieces that showcase its fluorescent properties.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
