Rainbow Fluorite: Properties and more

STONE OF GENIUS

Gemini’s and Virgo’s favorite

The two most cerebral signs of the Zodiac: Gemini and Virgo (kudos to being ruled by Mercury) have so much mental energy going on that a stone like Fluorite may seriously help organize those many many thoughts.

Fluorite is not limited to astrological brainiacs, it is also extremely beneficial to the esoteric believers thats recognize Fluorite as a memory enhancement stone, aiding students in achieving their academic goals.

Worry not, if this is too “woo-woo” for you I’ve included some geological facts below.

RAINBOW FLUORITE

More on geology

Rainbow Fluorite, a complex crystal that’s part of the Halide family, owes its formation to calcium and fluorine mineral rich fluids that circulate in hydrothermal veins. During the cooling and crystallization process, some layers are imbued with trace elements of pigment-creating minerals like manganese (pinks and purples), uranium (yellows, greens and UV reactive glow) , and thorium, which absorb ultraviolet light. Some Fluorite specimens will re-emit this glow as visible light, as some specimens react to ultraviolet light.

Fluorite is the mineral of reference for the 4th hardness level on the Moh’s scale.

Fluorite, especially the beautiful gemmy and cubic/octahedral type can be found in China in high quality exotic-looking specimens. Chunkier varieties are also mined in South Africa, Mexico, Mongolia, United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Tanzania, Rwanda and Argentina.

Crystal chunks and their uses

Rough Chunks embody a very pure energy. It is the raw version of the stone, unaltered and fully in its power. The natural shape of Chunks showcase their origin story of both: the geological formation and the mining process. With all the beautiful imperfections of Rough Chunks, it brings awareness and clarity to the realness of life.

They vibrate with the energy of deep instinct, inspiring you, like the Raw Chunk to show up as you are always.

Chunks can be used during meditation, as a grid centrepiece or as decor in your space. Carry a piece of Mother Nature everywhere you go!

Fluorite and my GEM SALES

For as long as I can remember, crystals have been a monumental part of my life (full story here), but its only as of November 2023 that I decided to start supplying ethically sourced crystals from my trusted suppliers to spread my passion and most importantly to educate people on their fantastic properties — both mesmerizingly geological and holistically interesting.

Coincidentally, last year during the same chilly month of November, it just so happened that my favourite crystal warehouse sale popped up at the Hilton Hotel in Montreal and they had so many fascinating pieces: I now have 45 unique specimens for sale on my Instagram ↓

FLUORITE AND SPIRITUALITY

More on metaphysical properties

Fluorite normally targets the Third Eye Chakra, but depending on its color correspondence, it may touch the Heart Chakra if it’s green, the Solar Plexus Chakra if it’s yellow, the Throat Chakra if it’s blue, and so on. This is why Rainbow Fluorite is a potent stone to bring clarity and focus to multiple imbalances requiring a different perception as to their solution.

✓ It’s also good at stimulating decision-making, mental sharpness, concentration and multitasking.

✓ The acuity it provides also enhances memory and information retention, making it an incredible stone for studying, improved mind-body coordination and organization.

✓ Fluorite may boost self-confidence (precisely the yellow variety) and it protects against energy drain.

✓ The purple varieties aid in overcoming mental and psychic manipulation, just as green coloured Fluorites will create a barrier between empaths and emotional vampires.
