Fluorite is a mineral that is composed of calcium and fluorine and forms in isometric crystals such as cubes and octahedrons, but can have other shapes. It’s used in many industrial applications like steel manufacturing, glass etching and ceramics. In Ontario, there were many Fluorite mines in operation in the last century, many of which are now closed. It is a relatively soft stone at a 4 on the Mohs scale and tends to be a difficult stone to tumble. Fluorite comes in green, blue, purple and yellow colours and combinations of all four colours in some specimens. It is truly a beautiful stone! This pendant features rough green Fluorite which is found in many areas right here in my home province. When I look at this beautiful shade of green, I’m reminded of the seafoam green of a lovely ocean and the green hue of a lovely forest.
Green Fluorite is an excellent stone that is known as a gentle healer and detoxifier and energizer of all chakras especially when placed on the throat or heat chakra. It is truly an all purpose stone promoting healing on all levels. Do you need to get back into touch with nature and the outdoors? Fluorite is helpful in restoring those ties to the Earth and the great outdoors. It also helps to promote self-love and can be helpful in removing blockages and narrow mindedness, leading to creativity and new ideas.
