Fluorite
is a mineral with a veritable bouquet of brilliant colors. Fluorite
is well known and prized for its glassy luster and rich variety of colors.
The range of common colors for fluorite starting from the hallmark color
purple, then blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black and
reddish orange is amazing and is only rivaled in color range by quartz.
Intermediate pastels between the previously mentioned colors are also
possible. It is easy to see why fluorite earns the reputation as "The
Most Colorful Mineral in the World".
The many colors of fluorite are truly wonderful. The rich purple color
is by far fluorite's most famous and popular color. It easily competes
with the beautiful purple of amethyst. Often specimens of fluorite and
amethyst with similar shades of purple are used in mineral identification
classes to illustrate the folly of using color as the sole means to
identify minerals. Fluorite has other qualities besides its great color
assortments that make it a popular mineral. It has several different
crystal habits that always produce well formed, good, clean crystals.
The cube is by far the most recognized habit of fluorite followed by
the octahedron which is believed to form at higher temperatures than
the cube. Although the cleavage of fluorite can produce an octahedral
shape and these cleaved octahedrons are popular in rock shops the world
over, the natural (e.g. uncleaved) octahedrons are harder to find.

Metaphysics
Information
about crystal, gem and mineral metaphysics and healing
|
People
interested in metaphysics and crystal healing tell us that fluorite
is a powerful healer that grounds excess energy, and is excellent for
concentration and meditation, bringing spiritual peace and wholeness.
It is known as the "stone of the mind," aiding comprehension and decision
making while discouraging chaos. Octahedral fluorite is believed to
dissolve mental blocks, narrow mindedness, and thought constricting
patterns. Fluorite brings order from chaos. It is the "stone of discernment
and aptitude" that acts as a protective, psychic shield and auric cleanser.
It also helps relationships and encourages and sustains the flawless
ideal of health, intellect and emotional well-being.
