Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, is a calcium fluoride mineral celebrated for its wide spectrum of colors, which can include purple, green, blue, yellow, clear, and even rainbow banding within a single specimen. It often forms in cubic or octahedral crystals, and can also be found in massive forms. Pure fluorite is colorless, but trace impurities and natural radiation give it its vibrant hues. It exhibits a vitreous luster when polished. A notable characteristic of Fluorite is its fluorescence under ultraviolet light, often glowing blue, a phenomenon named after the mineral itself.
Fluorite is a halide mineral (calcium fluoride, CaF₂). It has a Mohs hardness of 4, making it a relatively soft mineral.It is often called the "Genius Stone" due to its association with mental clarity, focus, and organization of thought. It is believed to absorb and neutralize negative energy, aiding in decision-making and promoting emotional balance.

Fluorite has been valued for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used it for carving statues, believing it possessed magical and healing properties. The ancient Chinese associated it with the element of water, believing it brought balance and harmony. In European folklore, it was thought to protect against evil spirits. Its historical use as a flux in steelmaking (from the Latin "fluere" meaning "to flow") also highlights its practical value.

Main origins of Fluorite include China, Mexico, South Africa, Mongolia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Tanzania, and Argentina.

Fluorite is associated with multiple chakras due to its diverse colors. Purple Fluorite primarily connects with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, enhancing intuition and spiritual awareness; Green Fluorite corresponds to the Heart Chakra, promoting emotional balance and renewal; Blue Fluorite aligns with the Throat Chakra, enhancing communication.

Fluorite has a Mohs hardness of 4, making it relatively soft and prone to scratching and chipping. Clean gently with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight, as this may cause color fading. Store separately to prevent scratches from harder gemstones. It should be protected from impacts and drastic temperature changes. Due to its low hardness, it is not suitable for daily wear in areas prone to impact (e.g., rings). Avoid contact with harsh chemicals. Regularly cleanse and charge using moonlight, sage smudging, or by placing it on a Clear Quartz cluster.
