What is Fluorite?

Fluorite is a form of calcium fluoride. It belongs to the family of halide minerals and is part of the cubic crystal system. Fluorite is transparent and comes in colors of purple, green, yellow, black, clear, pink, and other shades too. It has a fluorescent light that shows different colors at different angles. Fluorite has the meaning of direction, confidence, and self-love.

The Gemstone for Neutralizing Negative Energy

Rainbow moods come together in the gorgeous Fluorite crystal, one of the best stones for sweeping out negative energy and leaving you with that lush freedom feeling glow. Shimmering in different shades, from crystal clear colors to pretty purple tones, and soft blue hues, Fluorite is a favorite choice for those who fancy a Marie Kondo mind detox.

Originally found in the tropics of Mexico and balmy Brazil, its no wonder that Fluorite brings that radiant sun-like energy to the party. One glance at this gorgeous stone and you immediately get the sense that life has the potential to be simple and sublime and that as soon as the fog lifts there is nothing but blue skies ahead. Fluorite is also known as the Genius Stone, paying homage to the fact that this glimmering gem is a magic mind clearer, cutting through the confusion so your true aptitude can shine. Originally, it went by the name of Fluorspar. A member of the Halide family, this gem is composed of calcium fluorite and is loved by mineralogists. It’s considered to be one of the most colorful minerals in the world and that’s even more reason to adore it. Fluorite properties are rich in calcite and calcium fluoride and for some reason, this just seems to add to its ability to beautifully enhance mental clarity and enliven your soul with spiritual energy. 

A softer stone, Fluorite is a real showstopper thanks to its ability to grow in a dazzling array of shades and patterns. One glance and you may be smitten, but it's also a stone that seems to change every time you look at it. Fluorite is still something of a mystery which is why it's so revered. It seems to connect with the human body and energy fields in a truly beautiful way, gifting the wearer a sense of spirited joy, soft calm, deeper sleep, and a whole host of other physical, emotional, and metaphysical benefits too.

The Fluorite meaning comes from the Latin word for flux, referring to the gems ability to flow in flux and harmony with a range of other materials. If we take that word in a more spiritual sense it beautifully summarizes the mood of Fluorite – one that is all about establishing balance, joy, and harmony.

How to Cleanse Your Fluorite Crystals

As massive energy collectors and healers, all crystals need a little cleansing from time to time to keep them at the top of their power game. Think of your crystals like a vacuum cleaner, after sucking up all that energy, sometimes it needs to be emptied and recharged so it can continue to be an incredible tool. While crystals don’t need cleaning every time you use them or even every week or month, just taking a little time to cleanse and recharge every few months can work wonders for your stone. While many stones and crystals can adapt easily to being rinsed with soap and water, Fluorite is a relatively soft stone and doing this over time may leave a lasting impression. One of the best and easiest ways to keep your Fluorite cleansed and charged simultaneously is to leave it in a soft slant of moonlight or sunlight and let nature’s rays do the work.

Another way of cleansing your Fluorite is by smudging and using sage sticks to burn away those bad vibes and keep things sweet. Smudging is a great way of clearing negative energy and as simple as waving the smoke over the crystal and letting intention settle in.
