Fluorite

Crystal healers consider Fluorite one of Nature’s most powerful mental healers. Those who have experienced the power of Fluorite have labeled it the Genius Stone. To them it has the ability to influence the activities that occur on the mental plane of consciousness and amplifies, focuses, expands and creates new pathways for the mind. Mental healers also credit Fluorite with connecting a person’s being on the mental and spiritual plane. This allows it to increase abilities of concentration, discernment of truth and clear decision-making. Other properties include bringing order to mental chaos, increasing objectivity, enhancing creativity, curing mental disorders, easing meditation and freeing one from bad habits.  

The many colors of Fluorite, according to healers, have different mental healing specialties. Green can energize and still the heart and mind. Blue for inner peace. Purple is for focus and helping to get one out of a mental rut. Yellow is for comprehension and group communication and dynamics. White is for creating pathways between the individual and universal spirit.  Though primarily recognized as a mental healer, crystal healers also consider Fluorite a good physical healer, protecting one from infection by purification of the body, cleansing the spirit and eliminating almost any virus or bacteria. They also prescribe it for women in need of balancing their hormones. Because of its chemical makeup, they believe it can help with bones and teeth.

Sometimes we are stuck in self-defeating patterns and need that extra boost to make us realize that we really can do what we set our mind on. Fluorite Octahedrons work to get us through these difficult times by reminding us that we are important and having negative thoughts about ourselves is not the way to a full and happy life. Physically, fluorite octahedrons are used to heal skin, bones and regenerate cell tissue. It may also help those with arthritis (inflammation of the joints.)

Fluorite Yttrium

Yttrium Fluorite is an unusual, rare and beautiful form of purple Fluorite from Mexico. It is unusual in the fact that it does not cleave as other varieties of Fluorite and is extremely dense. Fluorite is known for being a mental body stone, but Yttrium is very different in the fact that it is attached to the physical world. While this may seem an unusual property for a mentally orientated mineral, it does serve an important function. Many people are too mentally oriented; they are thinkers, philosophers and dreamers who lack the discipline or groundedness to bring their ideas into reality. Yttrium Fluorite assists in grounding the ideas of these thinkers by manifesting those plans--making things happen. Another way the energies of this stone maybe utilized is by bringing down mental concepts to a level more readily understood by the average person. Minerals such as Selenite give us access into higher wisdom, Calcite can bridge the gap between that reality and our own, but a mineral such as Yttrium Fluorite will bring that information down through the physical plane to a level more easily understood.

In legend, it is believed Moldavite was the green stone in the Holy Grail and has the power to quicken ones spiritual evolution. Even people not sensitive to the energies of stones, often feel the energy of Moldavite. Many sense it as heat, tingling or pulsing sensation in their hand. Others feel a rush of energy through their body, usually upwards out the top of their head.

Moldavite's high vibrational energy is a powerful chakra opener, particularly at the heart and above. Sleeping with Moldavite activates the dream state. Wearing it helps manifest positive life changes. One of the main functions of Moldavite is that it helps people acclimatize to an earth plane environment.

Moldavite is that its best to use with other stones which can help ground its energies.
