Green fluorite is a highly valued mineral due to its magnificent color. It is a mineral used in the manufacture of jewelry and ornamental objects, and is widely used in lithotherapy.
For a bit of history, 16th-century metallurgists discovered that ores containing fluorite liquefied more quickly. Georgius Agricola (1494 - 1555), founder of mineralogy and metallurgy, already mentioned fluorite in his famous work Re Metallica.
In 1797, the naturalist Carlo Antonio Galeani Napione named this stone "fluere," meaning "flux" or "that which melts." This name refers to the stone's very low melting point. Thus, it has the ability to fuse with many elements. Subsequently, its name evolved to fluorite, and then the gas that constitutes it took the name fluorine. Moreover, in the Middle Ages, fluorite was sweetly called "ore flower."
Fluorite is a widespread mineral throughout the world. It is found in hydrothermal deposits and sedimentary rocks. It is composed of calcium fluoride with numerous industrial uses. It has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale, making it a relatively fragile mineral.
Fluorite crystals are generally cube-shaped and exhibit various shades, ranging from green to blue, violet to pink, yellow to brown, etc. Pure, fluorite is colorless. These wonderful colors are due to the presence of various metals or organic compounds. There is multicolored or rainbow fluorite. Furthermore, some varieties are even fluorescent. Others change color depending on the light they are exposed to.
Fluorite is found mainly in granite mines, sedimentary rocks, or metamorphic rock mines (rocks that have undergone mineralogical and structural transformations due to changes in temperature and/or pressure). Nowadays, the use of fluorite in jewelry, fine jewelry, and lithotherapy represents a tiny part of its exploitation. Although some specimens are highly sought after by collectors, most of its production is primarily intended for the metallurgical and steel industries. It is used in the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid for aluminum processing, in the production of enamel, lenses for astronomy, spectacle lenses, etc.
Fluorite is a stone known since antiquity, where some civilizations believed that light had crystallized in this mineral.
In China, green fluorite sometimes replaced jade in the manufacture of ornamental objects or statuettes. Violet fluorite had the power to ward off bad luck.
In ancient Egypt, many jewels, scarab-shaped amulets, or statues depicting various gods were made of fluorite.
The Greeks made their famous murrhine vases from fluorite. These were extremely expensive and highly sought-after vases made of murrhe. We now know that murrhe is actually fluorite. Moreover, this stone represented intelligence and know-how.
During archaeological excavations, fragments of fluorite, beads, and some objects were discovered in the ruins of Pompeii, a city buried during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The Romans used fluorite in the making of their glasses for drinking wine.
In the Middle Ages, fluorite was symbolically called "ore flower."
Closer to us, in the 18th century, in England, a mine in the Sheffield region produced bicolor fluorite. It was yellow and blue and was called "Blue John." This stone is extremely prized by collectors.
In France, in 1861, fluorite was used to make the balustrades of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. Today, most fluorite mines are closed.
The main deposits of fluorite are in China, Madagascar, Canada, France, etc.
In Lithotherapy, green fluorite is a stone particularly recommended for people suffering from shyness, anxiety, and worry. The energy released by this magnificent stone is invigorating and provides great self-confidence and assurance. It allows one to become aware of their potential.
It is a stone of the future. Wearing green fluorite encourages projects and gives the courage to achieve one's goals. It helps overcome past blockages and move forward in life. It provides protection against negative energies and dissolves confusion. It clarifies ideas to make the right decision and brings a beautiful open-mindedness.
This stone encourages love, compassion, understanding, and empathy. It allows one to open up to others and have quality relationships, often very harmonious. It stimulates the fluidity of social interactions, the expression of feelings and emotions. Often, it eliminates preconceived ideas and brings about changes in behavior.
Furthermore, it effectively combats stress, doubts, and the fear of others. It soothes fears and dispels sadness. Its green color is the color of renewal, vitality, and energy. It also symbolizes freedom of thought, action, vision, and expression. It also stimulates intuition and perception of the world.
