Healing Properties of Rainbow Fluorite: A Crystal for Clarity & Intuition

Rainbow Fluorite, also known as Fluor Spar, is a stunning stone that displays an amazing range of colors. Some of the most beautiful pieces are found in Mexico, England, and China. However, Fluorite used to be mined in Southern Illinois in the United States. In fact, this was where my very first crystal digging experience took place.

When I was about 8 years old, I was visiting my grandparents over Spring break from school. Their home wasn't far from a former Fluorite mining site at Cave in Rock, Illinois. My grandpa took me to search the mining "dump pile" for rocks with little bits of Fluorite on them. I was astonished to find gorgeous Fluorite crusts on some of the stones, ranging from purple to yellow. In fact, I still have one of the stones I found on that trip - and it's one of my most treasured crystals (though it may not be considered conventionally beautiful).

More About Rainbow Fluorite:

Fluorite, once called the “home of the rainbow,” is a stone of amazing variety. First, there are the colors: green, purple, blue, yellow, which are often found in beautiful banded formations. Only tourmaline shows more color variation.

Fluorite also shows fluorescence (and yes, it is the source of that word) under ultraviolet light, and, in some forms, with heating. One form called chlorophane will even glow if you simply hold it in your hand!

The name “fluorite” comes from the Latin word for “flow,” because fluorite melts at fairly low temperatures.
