About Fluorite
Fluorite is a stunningly colourful calcium fluoride mineral that displays an extraordinary range of colours, often within the same specimen — earning it the nickname 'Rainbow Fluorite'. Its colours include purple, green, blue, yellow, and clear, and it is one of the most visually spectacular minerals on earth. The name 'fluorite' comes from the Latin 'fluere', meaning 'to flow', as it was historically used as a flux in smelting. Major deposits are found in China, Mexico, UK, and Germany. In metaphysical traditions, fluorite is revered as the Genius Stone for its extraordinary ability to enhance mental clarity, concentration, and learning. At Reiki Heal, fluorite is our go-to recommendation for students, researchers, and anyone whose work requires sustained mental focus and analytical thinking. Fluorite resonates with the Third Eye and Crown chakras, creating a clear channel for intellectual processing, spiritual insight, and psychic development.

Crystal Care
Fluorite is a softer stone (4 Mohs) and should be handled gently. Cleanse it by smudging with sage or palo santo, or place it on a selenite charging plate. Brief rinsing under running water is acceptable. Avoid prolonged sunlight, saltwater, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stone's colour and surface.
