What is Fluorite?
Fluorite has been used for centuries as a flux to melt metals more easily from ore and to improve slag drainage. For this reason, fluorite is also called fluorspar .
Fluorite can be in many colors: white, yellow, orange, pink, brown, green, blue, purple and transparent. The crystal form is clearly visible: usually a regular octahedron ( octahedron ).
These facts make the mineral attractive to collectors.
The phenomenon of fluorescence is named after this gemstone. It was discovered when working metal that fluorite glows in the dark, if it had previously been exposed to daylight.
Fluorite is a real study and thinking stone. It helps to see broad outlines in the study material and to make connections with existing knowledge. This makes it easier to organize the information and makes it easier to absorb the substance.
This mineral brings you to your core in a gentle, yet fast way. It brings out the best in you, both physically and mentally.
Because Fluorite comes in so many colors, it was and is often used to imitate other gemstones.
In gemstone therapy, fluorite is often used as a protective stone for fears and for people who are not so strong in their shoes. Furthermore, the fluorite is an important healing stone for teeth and complaints of mouth, bones, joints, skin and hair.
The History Of Fluorite
In China , the fluorite has been a popular stone for centuries to make figurines and utensils. This is because it is a soft rock that is easy to cut. The Chinese considered the green fluorite - like all other green stones - a powerful talisman and amulet. The mineral is said to offer especially good protection against witchcraft and the devil's arts.
The Ancient Greeks and Romans were fond of fluorite. They made beautiful bowls and dishes in all kinds of colors. At that time, fluorite was so popular that it was even counterfeited to meet the demand.
Especially the blue Fluorite, which was found in England, among other places, was very popular. The counterfeit fluorite was mainly made of glass. Even now, fake fluorite made of glass is available on the market.
From the mid- 18th century , fluorite was used as a fluorspar in the processing of metal and glass, and in the manufacture of various colors of enamel. Today it is also used to prepare hydrogen fluoride. This product is used in non-stick coatings and as a disinfectant.
