Fluorite properties
ORIGINS
Fluorite is undoubtedly one of the most popular and varied colored minerals on Earth. It occurs in all colors of the spectrum and its chemical composition is Calcium Fluoride. Being one of fluorescent minerals, fluorite crystals, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, emit visible light, producing a luminescent blue glow.
Most popular Fluorite color varieties are rich purple and green, a combination of which results in a beautiful turquoise shade, resembling the color of tropical sea water. Other less common color varieties are: yellow, pink, red and blue. All of those have a characteristic luster, transparent and luminous shine. Fluorite is our main source of fluorine, indirectly used in the production of low friction plastics such as Teflon, or in halons, such as Freon. It’s also used in fluoridation of drinking water or as sodium fluoride in the production of toothpaste to prevent cavities.Fluorite’s name comes from Latin words fluo or fluere , meaning “to flow”, because fluorite melts easily and is used as flux in the manufacture and refining of steel, aluminum and lead. Fluorite gave its name to the phenomenon of fluorescence in 1852, which is a certain kind of luminescence, or emission of visible light under ultraviolet radiation. The reaction is a direct result of excitation by high-energy particles or radiation.
BENEFITS
Named as “stone of genius”, fluorite shows properties allowing it to generate energy from fresh water source. Through that process, the mineral helps improve metabolism and remove toxins from our system, which greatly affects brain cells and its function. Fluorite minimizes central nervous system fatigue, improving brain’s ability to absorb information. It also increases concentration and strengthens your cause – and - effect analytical skills. The mineral eases the understanding of phenomena which cannot be grasped through empirical science. It boosts intuition and confidence to follow your hunches, which sometimes may prove helpful. In this way, fluorite helps relief mind from unnecessary thoughts and overload of thinking, analyzing and processing. The moment of ultimate relaxation and detachment initiates the stimulation of brain’s center of emotions, which support the pragmatic capabilities and emotional intelligence. It all allows deeper insight into reality and eases the ability to overcome difficulties in everyday life. It helps us make decisions in accordance with your values, without harming others in the process.
