Fluorite is a calcium crystal which crystallizes in the form of masses, cubic, and octahedral crystals. The first reference of the crystal was in 1530 for its importance in aiding flux production. In 1852 George Gabriel Stokes discovered fluorite produced a blue glow when illuminated with light. He called this phenomenon "fluorescence" after the mineral fluorite. The name gained wide acceptance in mineralogy, gemology, biology, optics, commercial lighting, and many other fields.
Fluorite typically glows a blue-violet color under short-wave ultraviolet and long-wave ultraviolet light. Some specimens are known to glow a cream or white color. Many specimens do not fluoresce. Fluorescence in fluorite is thought to be caused when trace amounts of yttrium, europium, samarium, or other elements substitute for calcium in the fluorite mineral structure.
It’s a commonly occurring mineral with a majority of veins and deposits in many areas of the world. Fluorite can be found in South Africa, China, Mexico, Mongolia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Argentina.
Multiple colors have been known to commonly occur on the same specimen and are known to be found near Quartz and Calcite. Fluorite colours include Pink, Black, Purple, Blue, Clear, Green and Yellow.
Healing Properties:
It absorbs and neutralises negative energy and stress. An excellent learning aid, Fluorite increases our powers of concentration, self-confidence and helps us in decision-making. It encourages positivity, balances the energies, and improves balance and coordination, both physically and mentally.
