Description
From the Jiangxi Province. Fluorite is commonly found as cubic crystals, but bright blue crystals like this are unusual! The blue colour can be caused by trace amounts of yttrium substituting for calcium in the fluorite crystal structure. Many also have slight purple zoning. Fluorite naturally grows in octahedral form. In 1852 fluorite gave its name to the phenomenon known as fluorescence, or the property of fluorite to glow a different colour depending upon the bandwidth of the ultraviolet light it is exposed to. Energy workers believe that fluorite octahedrons are linked to the heart chakra, and with their related sacred geometry principles, they help one push past mental blocks and open the mind to limitless possibilities and solutions. Fluorite octahedrons are said to promote forgiveness, compassion and empathy, for both oneself and others
