New Age Wonder Stone: Flourite

Double Pyramid Power

Flourite is a wonderful mineral! Its name comes from an old word meaning 'flow, or to flow; flux.' Flourite comes in all the colors of the rainbow, and sometimes you can find a piece that resembles a very dark smoky quartz or a black, but that is rare. Flourite is a mineral that is a higher octave stone; meaning that it resonates with us in the spiritual and etheric levels of beings, rather than the physical levels of being. It is also often one of the stones of the intellectual 'trinity' which is often flourite, calcite, and golden pyrite. These minerals and metals [pyrite is a metal; 'fool's gold' ] share a common attribute of helping the intellectual capacity of humans. Calcite lends clarity of the thought processes and logic; Flourite brings in an aspect of Spirit which helps us use information and intellectual processes wisely, and in a balanced manner; pyrite is a good metal for inspiration and empowerment of visualization. Also in nature, these three stones are often found growing together! Flourite manifests in octahedrons, [the double pyramid; one on top and one on bottom!] rhomboid, and clusters of rhomboid or square crystals. Flourite also grows in bands in the Earth, like many others crystals and metals. It is a SOFT MINERAL, and must be cared for gently, lest it get scratched or broken. It cannot be soaked in water, plain or salted like the harder minerals of the quartz family, as IT WILL DISSOLVE. Its best to only rinse this one, in addition to other purification methods.
