Fluorite - Polished

Physical: Fluorite is composed of calcium fluoride and is a member of the Halide family. It has been mined commercially in several parts of the world since the 1930s. Notable deposits for Purple Fluorite include various parts of England, Germany, Bavaria, Mexico, Great Britain, South Africa and Peru. It is transparent to translucent with a vitreous luster and crystallizes in well-formed isometric cubes, nodules, clusters, or massive forms. A soft stone, being a 4 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, it is perfect as a collector’s specimen or for use as jewellery that is not subject to impact or abrasion.

Fun Fact: Some believe fluorite is the world’s most colourful crystal, due to its enormous range of brilliant and even iridescent colours displayed!

Metaphysical: Fluorite is said to purify the mind and enhance mental acuity, while increasing devotional and faith-oriented aspects of the mind, as it stimulates the Throat, Third Eye and Crown Chakras. It is excellent for getting in touch with one’s intuition and psychic abilities, aiding meditation and creative visualization, creating an energy of tranquility and peace, supporting concentration and focus, and releasing outdated programs and limiting beliefs. It also helps with drawing away negative energy promoted by stress, and clearing emotional trauma that block the user from heart-centeredness. When a pick-me-up is needed during a stress-filled day, or if you are aiming to get in touch with your spiritual or heartful nature, try fluorite!
