Faceted Green Fluorite Cabinet Knobs

About the Green Fluorite

Green fluorite grows in cubes and layers, and the color lies in bands rather than one flat tone. A single piece can run from pale sea green through to a deeper bottle green, with clear or near-white zones between the bands.

It is a translucent stone, so light gets into it and comes back out softened. Held near a window the bands separate clearly; in lamplight the whole face reads as one quieter green.

How It’s Made

The fluorite is faceted across a 2" face, which splits the banding into planes so the greens read as separate blocks of color. The rim is electroformed: real metal grown onto the stone until it has genuine thickness and is bonded permanently, never a leaf or coating that can rub off. Thick metallic gold is the standard edge, and silver and rose gold are also made.

Details

• Material: natural green fluorite, a semi precious stone, with copper and brass fittings
• Set size: one knob with its bolt
• Size: 2" diameter
• Projection: 1.25"
• Bolt: 1.75" brass bolt
• Finish: electroformed gold, with silver and rose gold to order

Banding is natural, so the balance of green to clear differs on every piece. Other sizes can be made to order on request.

Fit and Installation

It fits cabinet doors, dresser drawers and wardrobe fronts through one drilled hole, and the 1.75" brass bolt comes with it, so no additional hardware is needed. Fluorite is softer than agate, so tighten with care by hand and stop as soon as the knob sits firm.

Care

Dust with a soft dry cloth only. Household cleaners and abrasive pads will mark a soft stone quickly.
