Faceted Fluorite

Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2). It is recognized for its array of vibrant colors and its crystal structure. Often exhibiting hues of purple, blue, green, yellow, or clear, fluorite is also known for its strong fluorescence under ultraviolet light. This mineral is used industrially as a flux for smelting and in the production of certain glasses and enamels.

In the realm of crystal healing, which is not recognized by mainstream science, fluorite is believed to have a variety of metaphysical properties:

1. Mental Enhancement: Fluorite is often associated with mental clarity and enhancement. It is thought to improve decision-making and to clear confusion and mental fog, helping its user to focus and integrate complex information.

2. Balance and Harmony: Fluorite is considered a balancing stone, said to restore order and harmony to chaos and disorganization, whether it be physical or emotional.

3. Protection: Some believe fluorite can act as a protective stone, helping to ward off negative energy and stress.

4. Spiritual Awakening: Fluorite is sometimes associated with spiritual growth and awakening, helping users to connect with their intuition and inner spirit.

Please Noted：

Fluorite is quite soft compared to many other gemstones, with a rating of 4 on the Mohs hardness scale. This means it can be prone to scratches and breakage, making it difficult to cut into complex faceted shapes.

The cutting of fluorite into faceted shapes requires a specialized technique, an artisanal craft that only experienced gem cutters can perform successfully. The facets must be carefully planned and executed to minimize potential damage to the stone and to showcase its natural beauty to the fullest extent.
