Fluorite: meaning, properties and bracelet ideas
Fluorite is traditionally associated with concentration, clarity and harmony. In lithotherapy, it is linked to the Heart and Third Eye chakras and to the air element. Its vibration is considered high, which shapes how it combines with other stones.
From the workshop
I really love fluorite. Its purple and green bands, its transparency… But it always reminds me of a cut flower: beautiful, and already starting to wilt.
Like chrysocolla, it can lose its colour. Strong light and long hours in the sun eventually wash its colours out.
It's soft, too: 4 on the Mohs scale, with pronounced cleavage. A knock, a rub against a ring, and it scratches or chips.
So look after it the way you would a bouquet: in the shade, protected. A soft cloth, stored on its own in a pouch, never left in the sun on a windowsill.
Fluorite is traditionally associated with focus and clarity of mind.
A fragile beauty.
One you have to earn.

Purple fluorite resembles amethyst but is much softer (4 versus 7). Fluorite often shows purple bands alongside green or colourless ones; amethyst stays in the purples.
Stones that look alike: how to tell them apart →
Pearls, mother-of-pearl, howlite, malachite, rhodochrosite, fluorite, angelite… A fingernail (2.5) or a coin (about 3.5) can already mark some of them. Wear gently: take the bracelet off for sport, housework or gardening, and store it separately.
