Fluorite Description

Mineral class: halides.

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

Fluorite is a fairly common mineral composed of calcium fluoride. It can be of primary, secondary, or tertiary 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 if exposed to the sun or heat, while at night it returns to normal.

Element

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

Chakra connected to Fluorite

Sixth chakra Ajna (“Forehead 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, since it was classified in the category of spats, that is, those minerals easily cleavable (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 early as ancient Greece.

If exposed to ultraviolet rays it presents 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 case of joint problems and stiffness in general, including those related to arthritis. It relieves discomfort in case of psychosomatic allergy and promotes the activity of the nervous system, in particular 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 pushes the individual not to compromise and not to be influenced by external influences for the realization of their own life. It helps to restructure one's existence and reach a condition of autonomy and emotional stability, instilling confidence and dissolving mental confusion.

It favors learning by stimulating the perception of relationships between things and the reprocessing of information, therefore the logical-cognitive faculty of the subject. 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 the sense of order, concentration, and grounding while still keeping the person's vital energy at a high level of openness. Self-discipline is fundamental to control and correct one's thoughts, actions, and words and improve 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 obtain 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 to go 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.

Jade is a purifying stone that attracts prosperity. It is said to protect against accidents and injuries, so it is a good stone to carry with you when traveling. Jade stimulates the creation of all kinds of ideas and the determination to put them into practice.

Country of origin of the stone: China

Delivered with a black cotton cord.

Description of Jade

Mineral class: phyllosilicates. Chemical formula: NaAl[Si2O6] + Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn

Jade is an ornamental stone and not strictly a mineral, but rather a collection of particular silicate minerals (jadeite and nephrite) distributed in a structure made of very fine granules and interwoven fibers.

The color is rarely uniform: on a white or off-white background, slight shades of pink, lavender, violet, or more often emerald green or light green appear due to the presence of chromium.

Today, other minerals are also sold under the name of jade, such as serpentine, which not only has the same appearance but is also extracted from the same deposits as jadeite and nephrite, although it is more malleable and less resistant.

Element

Water: the water element relates to the sphere of emotions and femininity (love, healing, compassion, reconciliation, intuition).

Chakra associated with Jade

Second chakra Svadhishthana ("Sacral") and fourth chakra Anahata ("Heart")

Mythology

The name "jade" comes from the Spanish pedra de ijada, meaning "stone of the flanks," due to its traditional beneficial power over the lower back and kidneys, and dates back to the time of the Spanish conquest of Central America, where this stone was highly appreciated and finely crafted.

In ancient China, it was a sacred stone used to make urns because it was believed to have the power to prevent corrosion and ward off evil spirits. In traditional Chinese literature, gold and jade are often mentioned together and are considered symbols of wealth.

Even today, the price of good-quality jade is worth no less than a piece of gold of the same weight. Confucius (551-379 BC) states that jade possesses eleven virtues, including benevolence (it is smooth and shiny to the touch), fidelity (it never irritates the skin), education, and sincerity (a flaw in jade is never hidden). Confucian culture also preached that a man should define his manners and conduct in accordance with the virtues of jade.

Effect on the body

Jade strengthens the liver, spleen, and heart. It reactivates circulation, purifies the blood, and stimulates the immune system.

It has rebalancing properties for the entire body. It is beneficial for kidney activity and combats swelling in the legs and knees.

Effect on the psyche

Jade has calming, soothing, and alleviating properties for troubled moods. It eliminates fear, consoles, and invites benevolence. It helps the heart find compassion to make the right decisions. It rebalances emotions and brings modesty and clarity of thought. It opens the mind and encourages renewal

Pendant in Garnet

Garnet is a very hard stone that forms in the deepest layers of the earth. It is known for igniting the survival instinct and willpower, and therefore counteracts feelings such as depression and discouragement.

This stone gives courage, optimism, and hope. Garnet stimulates self-healing abilities, strengthens the immune system, and improves blood circulation and blood quality. It is a truly revitalizing stone.

Dimensions: 1 - 2.5 cm

Delivered with a black cotton cord.

Material: Garnet, semi-precious stone

Garnet is still considered a powerful symbol of transformation today. Although aesthetically “insignificant” in its raw state, once worked, it becomes a wonderful stone. This is why it is recommended for those who have to face a difficult moment involving transformation, change.

Benefits for the body

It has a great regenerative energy. Physically, it harmonizes fluids, especially the blood. It stimulates metabolism and strengthens our immune system, making us stronger in facing and preventing illnesses. It is also recommended for those who have difficulty absorbing nutrients at the intestinal level. When applied locally to a bleeding wound, garnet helps it heal.

Benefits for the mind

Garnet gives greater self-confidence and therefore increases self-esteem. It is a beacon in the dark, bringing joy of life and great optimistic willpower to overcome all the challenges one must face. It makes one highly persevering, freeing the person from fixed patterns and inhibitions. Precisely for this reason, it is sometimes considered and used as an aphrodisiac. Garnet is useful for men and women who are afraid to express their sexuality, often caused by some negative past experiences. Finally, on a mental level, it is recommended when one wishes to give birth to new ideas and bring projects to life, because it offers the strength necessary to emerge without fear and leave behind obsolete, limiting ideas.

Benefits for the spirit

As I said at the beginning, garnet is a stone that illuminates, that helps to emerge from a dark period and depression. Use it if you are in a situation that seems to have no way out. If we are experiencing such a strong moment of crisis that all our hope and value have collapsed.

It strengthens the desire to emerge, releasing light within the person wearing it. It leads to a great state of harmony not only with oneself but also with everyone close by.

Dimensions: 1 - 3 cm

History

Howlite is a fairly common white stone. It is characterized by gray inclusions that make it look veined; at other times, these inclusions are black or bluish.

Sometimes it can also be found colorless. It is often used as an imitation of the much more expensive turquoise and is therefore dyed blue. Howlite is used because its white color and porous nature make it suitable for imitations. Sometimes it is dyed red as a substitute for coral.

Howlite belongs to the borate class and was first described by Henry How in 1868. Transparent crystals are very rare. It was discovered in Canada, but today the main sources are found in Los Angeles and California. The sources in Marmara and Turkey are also very important.

Properties of howlite

Howlite is a fairly common stone in crystal therapy, although it has not achieved the fame of other crystals. It is particularly appreciated in jewelry for imitating the more precious turquoise and coral. This does not, however, mean that it lacks properties.

Physical benefits

Physically, it increases oxygen flow, helps with thyroid problems, and can also be useful in supporting treatments for autoimmune and degenerative diseases. It is used in crystal therapy treatments also against infections. It stimulates fertility and strengthens the heart.

Psychological benefits

Psychologically, however, it is used to overcome past wounds and traumas, to process anger, and to renew oneself. It is used for anxiety, shock, and panic. It instills a new sense of self-confidence and helps find the strength to move forward.

Wear it as a pendant at heart level if you need to open up a little more to your feelings. It is a stone that amplifies vibrations and increases love for yourself and others. At the same time, it helps calm overly turbulent thoughts and feelings, and to reduce fears and feelings such as jealousy. It teaches you to adopt less impulsive, more understanding, and more tolerant behaviors toward others.

Spiritual benefits

Spiritually, as a white stone, howlite can be used for the seventh chakra. It helps you listen to yourself and take responsibility. It allows for better and healthier contact with the environment and other people.

Pendant in raw Iolite (Aquamarine)

Iolite is the gemological variety of the mineral cordierite. It is sometimes also called aquamarine.

The stone's color ranges from light azure to dark blue and carries with it the spirit of exploration, travel (spiritual), and the fulfillment of dreams.

It is said to help overcome disorientation or confusion, and to strengthen confidence and endurance. 

This is a natural product, so the color, shape, and size may vary and differ from the image shown.

Size: approximately 2.5 cm

Material: Precious Stone

Country of origin of the stone: India

Delivered with a black cotton cord.

The name derives from the Greek term “ios,” meaning “violet flower,” but its true name is cordierite, given in honor of the French mineralogist Louis Cordier, who first classified it in 1813.

Classified, but not discovered, because Iolite has actually been known since ancient times. Think of the ancient Viking navigators who carried it with them on their long sea voyages because, thanks to birefringence—that is, the splitting of a ray of light into two distinct rays—they were able to use it as a kind of compass, determining the sun's exact position even on days of bad weather.

Properties of Iolite

Although they are all defined as Iolite, the crystals of this stone can take on different colors. The most common, and also the most fascinating, are the blue ones, perfect for working on interpersonal relationships, but there are also gray and purple varieties, recommended respectively for lightening the work environment and improving family and sexual life.

Physical properties

In addition to being a valuable aid for asthma-related allergies, Iolite strengthens the nervous system, making the individual more alert and responsive. Furthermore, placed at the level of the throat, it seems to be effective in fighting inflammation and clearing the voice, making it more crystalline. More generally, this stone increases vitality and improves the functionality of all organs, contributing to a pleasant feeling of well-being.

Mental properties

Although it can be used for therapeutic purposes, Iolite remains the perfect crystal for influencing the mind. In fact, in addition to fighting shyness and depression, this stone increases self-awareness, helping you find effective solutions to every type of problem without having to abandon your values and ideals. Furthermore, it helps balance your feminine side with your masculine side, promoting interpersonal relationships with both men and women. Worn during difficult times, it will allow you to overcome the toughest tests with agility, bringing you harmony and serenity.

Spiritual properties

If you are embarking on a path of spiritual exploration, know that Iolite will help you remember past lives, promoting the reconstruction of a linear and coherent path. By stimulating the flow of energy along the meridians, this crystal will improve your psychic powers, allowing you to grow spiritually more quickly and consciously. Furthermore, when used during a crystal therapy session, it will purify the aura, allowing you to regain positive energy and a clearer vision of the present.
