FLUORITE

(Alternate Name: Fluorspar)

Appearance

Fluorite appears in an astonishing range of colors—clear, green, purple, blue, yellow, rainbow-banded—often forming cubic or octahedral crystals with sharp edges and luminous translucence. Its colors layer like thoughts stacked neatly into place, sometimes zoning cleanly, sometimes flowing softly. Despite its beauty, it feels cool, orderly, and intentional rather than ornamental.

This is a stone that looks like clarity with architecture.

Myth & Lore

Historically used in metallurgy and optics, Fluorite was prized for its ability to clarify—both literally and symbolically. Its name comes from the Latin fluere, “to flow,” referencing its role as a flux that helps materials move cleanly into form.
