Bead sizes: variable (0.4 cm - 0.6 cm - 0.8 cm - 1.0 cm)

Bracelet size: 19 cm

Material: Fluorite, semi-precious stone

Description of Fluorite

Mineral class: halides.

Chemical formula: CaF2 + (C, Cl, Fe, Ce, Y).

Fluorite is a fairly common mineral composed of calcium fluoride. It can be primary, secondary, or tertiary in origin. The most important deposits are of magmatic origin.

It cleaves perfectly into octahedral crystals, that is, a double pyramid joined at the base.

Almost always transparent and translucent, or with a glassy luster, it is rarely colorless, while it is commonly found in purple, green, yellow, orange, light blue, pink, brown, and black. Multiple colors can be found in a single crystal, and it has the characteristic of changing color when exposed to sunlight or heat, while returning to normal at night.

Element

Fire: the fire element concerns the sphere of energy and masculine strength (courage, willpower, purification, conquest).

Chakra associated with Fluorite

Sixth chakra Ajna ("Brow or Third Eye") and seventh chakra Sahasrara ("Crown")

Mythology

The name derives from the Latin fluere, "to flow," and it has been known as "flowing stone" since the mid-18th century: it was not considered a true mineral, in fact, as it was classified in the category of spats, that is, those minerals that are easily cleaved (from the German spalten, "to divide") and the adjective fluid was added to it because its shiny appearance reminded of that of molten glass. It is no coincidence that fluorite, together with quartz and colored glass, was used as a substitute for precious stones as far back as ancient Greece.

When exposed to ultraviolet rays, it exhibits the phenomenon of fluorescence, a phenomenon that takes its name precisely from this material.

Effect on the body

Fluorite stimulates the regeneration of the skin and mucous membranes, especially regarding the respiratory tract and lungs. It helps the absorption of calcium and therefore strengthens the teeth and bones. It is indicated in cases of joint problems and general stiffness, including those related to arthritis. It alleviates discomfort in cases of psychosomatic allergies and promotes the activity of the nervous system, particularly that of the brain. Useful for those who have memory problems, a sense of disorientation, and lack of concentration.

Effect on the psyche

Fluorite promotes freedom of thought and encourages individuals not to compromise or allow external influences to affect the fulfillment of their lives. It helps restructure one's life and achieve autonomy and emotional stability, instilling confidence and clearing mental confusion.

It promotes learning by stimulating the perception of relationships between things and the reprocessing of information, thus the logical-cognitive faculty of the individual. The ability to align the body with the mind and bring the mind into harmony with the spirit is the true talent of this stone: fluorite encourages channeling the energies of meditation and prayer on the earthly plane.

It stimulates creativity and imagination. It facilitates contact with one's unconscious and makes repressed feelings conscious by gradually bringing them to light. It is useful for overcoming addictions, obsessions, and limiting thought and behavior patterns.

It develops self-discipline and a sense of order, concentration, and grounding while still keeping the person's vital energy at a high level of openness. Self-discipline is essential for controlling and correcting one's thoughts, actions, and words, and improving oneself. It is the inner strength necessary to shape one's life as desired.

How to use fluorite

Fluorite can be cleansed after use under running water. To achieve lasting effects on the spiritual plane, it is recommended to always carry fluorite with you in close contact with the skin or apply it to the affected area for physical therapy. To strengthen the sense of order, groups of fluorite crystals can be placed in the environment: their presence reminds the mind to stay focused and helps organize work.

During meditation, a fluorite pyramid is useful for descending deeper into oneself in search of balance between the dimensions of being, allowing one to see reality behind illusion, the eternal behind the transitory, the truth beyond confusion.

Jasper description

Mineral class: oxides, quartz group. Chemical formula: SiO2 + Fe, O,OH, Si.

Jasper is a very common opaque and compact stone, belonging to the quartz family, which presents different colors (from red to green, yellow, and brown) depending on the inclusions of different foreign substances.

It is of secondary origin and derives from the deposition of silica directly from waters in clay or sandy rocks. During the progressive transformation into quartz, the fine particles of clay and sand remain trapped in the forming jasper, causing its opacity and the surface patterns that characterize it.It can also have an organic origin due to the accumulation of radiolarians or sponges. The oldest deposits, according to Pliny the Elder, were found in Ethiopia, Cyprus, and India; today the most important are in Brazil, Australia, and India. In Italy, jasper is found in Tyrol, Tuscany, and Liguria.The most common varieties are yellow and sand-brown, green, and red: the first is produced by the presence of iron oxide in a divalent form (Fe2+), the red one in a trivalent form (Fe3+), while the green one comes from inclusions of iron silicate compounds.

Element

Depending on the color, jasper can be associated with various elements (Fire: red; Earth: green, yellow, and brown) and their respective characteristics related to energy and strength, prosperity, fertility, and well-being.
