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.

The crystals sometimes take on the appearance of a metallic flower, so much so that they have the popular name of "iron rose". Legend has it that hematite is called so because it was placed on war wounded to take away their pain and was therefore constantly stained with blood.

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 several 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.

Chakra Associated with Jasper

Second chakra Svadhishthana ("Abdomen")

Mythology

The name jasper is of Persian origin and in antiquity referred to what we now call quartz. The first to use jasper, in its various varieties, were the Hittites and, later, the Egyptians, Phoenicians, Etruscans, and Chinese, who included it among the Yu stones, that is, "sacred stones".

In the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen gives the following description of the formation of jasper in her treatise Physica: "Jasper grows when the sun, after the ninth hour, turns toward sunset. It is warmed by the sun's heat, however, it is more air than water or fire". According to the Benedictine nun, it is a remedy for heartache and troubled dreams: for heartache, the cold stone should be placed on the chest until the body's heat warms it (the procedure should be repeated until you feel better); for troubled dreams, however, the stone should be kept next to you while you sleep, its influences bring serenity to sleep.

In ancient times, jasper was attributed the virtue of neutralizing any type of spell. The Native Americans used it in rituals to make it rain, hence the name "rain bringer". The ancient Egyptians considered blood jasper the emblem of the blood of the goddess Isis and various types were used as a scarab-shaped amulet In the Middle Ages it was considered the stone of warriors: in this regard, in the saga of the Nibelungs, it is told that a jasper was embedded in the hilt of Siegfried's sword.

Effect on the psyche

Green jasper: helps develop the ability to protect oneself.

Red Jasper: known as the warrior stone, promotes action, courage, fighting spirit, determination, and willpower, helping the individual to pursue their goals to the end and overcome any obstacle. Stimulates the spirit of initiative. Strengthens honesty, promotes a confident and trusting attitude, eliminates guilt, and opens up to love. It helps to recover and maintain sexual balance.
