| | Fluorite is prized for its rich variety of colors (spanning the whole spectrum), earning it the reputation of “the most colorful mineral in the world.” Most specimens have a single color, but a significant percentage of fluorites have multiple colors and the colors are arranged in bands or zones that correspond to the shapes of fluorite’s crystals. Fluorite is frequently fluorescent and, like its normal light colors, its fluorescent colors are extremely variable. Some also phosphoresce, or glow after the initial activating UV light is removed; the electrons in the mineral store the energy of the light and then re-emit the phosphorescent light on a delayed basis. “Glow-in-the-dark” toys make use of these chemicals.

Fluorite is a force of order and structure. It helps scattered and discordant energies become cohesive and harmonic. Fluorite can bring stability to groups, linking them into a common purpose. It is especially powerful in balancing the brain, helping both hemispheres to work harmoniously together, creating a ‘whole brain’ state of enhanced mental and psychic abilities. This newly organized, focused energy quiets anxiety and worry caused by scattered, unspecific fear of the future. Fluorite’s energy can assist in changing the etheric blueprint, the energetic model underlying all physical matter. It not only lends access to the higher levels of one’s energy field but also can assist in shifting energy at these levels, especially in molding chaotic vibrations into a coherent pattern and clearing the manifestation of one’s life purpose. The tarot suit of Swords embodies the mental powers, and the image of the sword of intelligence cutting through the uncertainties of potential with the power of choice is a potent one – Fluorite is the mineral which most clearly emanates the Swords energy. It helps to focus concentration and thought, assisting in subtle but important discernment. Fluorite can shed light on outside influences at work, and shut them off if need be. It helps one to select a direction and plan the steps needed to walk the chosen path. Green Fluorite is particularly helpful in aligning thought, plan, and action with the heart’s wisdom and energy.
