Fluorite Crystal Properties

Fluorite (also known as fluor or fluorspar) is a multi-colored mineral that has strong energetic healing properties and captivating physical beauty. The name of this stone comes from the glow it gets under ultraviolet light and it is available in a wide variety of colors and shades.

Fluorite absorbs negative energy and transmutes it into positive energy, so this stone is ideal for those who are feeling burnt out. Being near fluorite can enhance your natural aura and raise your vibration.​​​​​ Fluorite is also known to boost mental clarity, detoxify, and promote peace of mind.

Fluorite was named by Carlo Antonio Galeani Napione in 1797. The word “fluorite” originates from the Latin word flux, which means to flow interchangeably. Flux refers to the way the colors of fluorite react to light, as well as its ability to keep positive energy flowing.

Each color of fluorite holds a unique meaning.

• Black fluorite is the best choice for cleansing and purifying negativity and its energy shields the emotional body.
• Blue fluorite represents the throat chakra and your voice, so it will help you improve communication and increase authenticity, honesty, and transparency.
• Green fluorite is related to the heart chakra and supports emotional well-being, making it a good choice for those who are experiencing grief or heartbreak.
• Pink fluorite will open up your heart and promote healing and self-love.
• Purple fluorite is connected to the crown chakra and brings about love, peace, protection, and spiritual awakening.
• Rainbow fluorite is grounding yet spiritually elevating and improves creativity, intuition, and psychic abilities.
• White/clear fluorite creates harmony, encourages mental clarity and foresight, and pairs well with other crystals.
• Yellow fluorite represents the solar plexus chakra and influences confidence, joy, positive intentions, and self-assurance.

Blue, clear, green, purple, and yellow are the most common fluorite colors, but rainbow fluorite is a favorite among fluorite enthusiasts. Despite its name, rainbow fluorite is not rainbow but a rich blend of purple and green and no two rainbow fluorite crystals are alike.

Despite the striking beauty of rainbow fluorite, the individually-colored fluorite stones are rarer than rainbow fluorite, and blue and yellow are the rarest of them all. The rarity and value of each fluorite stone depend on the brightness and vividness of its color.
