History: Fluorite belongs to the Spar family. This feldspar has a wide range of colors and uses. Fluorite, CaF2 + (C, Cl, Ce, Fe, Y), is considered a cubic crystal. Fluorite comes from the latin word for flow. Since Roman times, a massive crystalline variety of fluorite known as Blue John or Derbyshire spar has been used for making vases and other ornamental objects. It typically had a banded pattern of blue, violet and purple.

This material was mined in the district of Derbyshire, England which reportedly has now been mined out. It was originally referred to as fluorospar by miners and is still called that today. Fluorite is one of the most beautiful and interesting minerals available and very popular among mineral collectors. It is also used as a flux in the smelting of metallic ores such as steel, or in the manufacture of certain glasses, enamels and porcelains. Clear and colorless fluorite is sometimes used in optical equipment, but as this quality is rare in nature it is usually produced synthetically. Fluorite is also used as a source of fluorine for hydrofluoric acid and fluorinated water. The element fluorine also gets its name from fluorite.

Cleansing & Charging Fluorite

~ Cleansing a crystal is always a good idea to rid it of energies (negative or otherwise) that it may have picked up during handling and excessive use.

~ Charging a crystal is bringing its energy levels back up, after use and cleansing. Like re-charging a battery after it has lost its energy.  A great way to do this (and remind you that it is time to do so) is during a full moon.
