Fluorite is a beautiful member of the spar family, and is very popular due to its many colors and shapes, often forming cool - looking octahedrons and crystallizing in green, purple, pink, blue, clear, multi - colored, yellow, or black. Aside from this stone's physical beauty and uniqueness, it also has a very distinct energetic signature, making it a must - have for those who collect stones. So let's talk about some of the ways you can use this crystal.
For those who work with tarot, Robert Simmons makes a comparison that I think is spot - on - this stone is energetically identical to the suit of SWORDS in the standard tarot deck. That is, this is your stone for everything MENTAL. This is your talisman for slicing through illusion, mental fog, and overwhelming emotion, and imbuing one with mental alertness, capability, and objectivity. For this reason, this is a wonderful crystal to help with clear decision - making. Fluorite is a great companion for STUDENTS, as it helps the LEARNING process, and should be held and rubbed during class, or kept somewhere close to you where it touches the skin. Not only does it help with the absorption and assimilation of incoming information, but it keeps one focused and concentrated, and also boosts memory (fluorite also pairs really well with lapis for boosting mental faculties if you happen to have one of those handy.) Fluorite also dissipates narrow - mindedness, fixed thoughts, and small thinking. This stone has the ability to bring out something of an inner rebel, stimulating free thinking, and stimulates CREATIVITY and INVENTIVENESS, making it useful for brainstorming. Because this stone has a very practical, somewhat unemotional vibe, it is wonderful for those who are OVERWHELMED BY THEIR EMOTIONS and cannot set these aside when necessary. It also boosts the higher mind and intuition.
In addition to being the single most important crystal for mental faculties, fluorite is also known for its ability to BRING ORDER OUT OF CHAOS. Not only does it bring organized thought, but this is the stone that you want to work with and carry with you if you need a little ORGANIZATION and STABILITY brought to your life in general. This is ideal for SCATTERED and DISORGANIZED temperaments. Rightfully so, fluorite has been deemed the FORCE OF ORDER in the crystal kingdom by many experts on the subject.
Additionally, fluorite is highly PROTECTIVE, drawing off negative energy and not allowing mental influences from others to creep in - so if you are the type of person who is easily swayed by charismatic types, this can be a good stone to combat this tendency. This is also an important crystal for protecting against EMS, which is the negative energy emitted by technology. A fluorite grid surrounding your TV, microwave, toaster, or any other source of EMS is ideal (and honestly, tumbled fluorites are inexpensive and readily available) but if you only have one specimen, placing it between you and the source of EMS will effectively shield you from this harmful energy. Taping a fluorite to your phone or computer is also a great way protect you (I am going to do a blog post shortly about EMS and some other crystals for protecting you against it, but amazonite is my other favorite to use for this, or ajoite if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one.) Fluorite works as something of a psychic vacuum cleaner, clearing all forms of negativity and even astral hitchikers that may be hanging around and causing disruption.
Energetically, fluorite balances all the chakras, though some colors are keyed to specific ones (which I will address shortly.) Physically, fluorite is great for physical balance, coordination, dizziness and vertigo, and treats the bones and teeth. It is a wonderful pain reliever, particularly of nerve - related pain, and should be stroked over the site of pain toward the heart. Fluorite is a wonderful crystal for conditions such as rheumatism or arthritis because in addition to relieving pain and acting as an anti - inflammatory, fluorite has an energizing, mobilizing effect on the joints, and also helps with all muscle/joint pain unrelated to arthritis. It is used to treat such conditions as shingles, ulcers, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, and suppurating wounds. This a great stone for cold and flu season, as it heals both of these conditions and should be placed over the thymus for maximum potency (the upper chest.) Fluorite makes a wonderful elixir for the skin, removing blemishes and wrinkles. It is an anti - viral, anti - inflammatory, and immune stimulator, and its natural tendency to restore order out of chaos is true at the physical level, particularly with the lungs and bones, with which fluorite strongly resonates. This stone should be placed under the pillow at night to prevent night terrors and sleep paralysis, as well as unwanted out - of - body trips.
The only thing worth mentioning regarding how to care for your fluorite is that it needs to be cleansed A LOT - after every use is ideal - because it absorbs all kinds of negative energy quickly and easily. So, even if you do not typically subscribe to the idea of cleansing crystals, it is HIGHLY recommended that you do so with this one (not that anything catastrophic would happen should you not, but you would find it would not be very effective when saturated with negative energy.)
Below are EXTREMELY SIMPLIFIED, CONDENSED descriptions of specific colors of fluorite. My posts are often so lengthy because crystals and their properties are not simplistic enough to say in one word or even one sentence...this is why I become uncomfortable upon being asked "What does this stone do?" This is a common question intended to demand a one - word answer that I cannot accurately give without failing to explain HOW the crystal works and in what way it should be used, which are crucial pieces of information. Crystal work is a complex subject and deserves to be treated as such. On that note, I do plan to make a long post about each of these specific fluorites in the future, giving them the amount of detail they deserve and require. While these descriptions are extremely simplified and somewhat shallow, they nevertheless present an accurate and basic idea of fluorite's slightly different energies.
Blue Fluorite - Combines the organizational ability of fluorite with throat chakra energy, stimulating CLEAR COMMUNICATION of one's ideas, and also one of the best fluorites for creativity and inventiveness. Opens the THIRD EYE and brings PSYCHIC CLARITY, so excellent for those who do readings and other psychic work (rare - ish.) Chakra: Throat, third eye
Black Fluorite - The ULTIMATE CLEANSER AND VACUUM CLEANER (rare.)
Green Fluorite - Combines heart chakra energy with otherwise unemotional fluorite energy to create a stone that balances the HEART and MIND. Works very well to clear emotional trauma and remove excess energy from the aura and chrakas. A common fluorite to use on the lungs and for asthma (common.) Chakra: Heart
Purple Fluorite - VERY CALMING, an ideal stone for TEST TAKING because it carries the mental energy of fluorite, and adds a strong ability to calm the nerves. This stone can also be used for other assessments or JOB INTERVIEWS, and reduces WORKAHOLIC tendencies (common.) Chakra: Crown
Pink Fluorite - Bring suppressed emotions to the surface to be released and dealt with. Also helps to align the heart and mind. Used to treat osteoporosis. Chakra: Higher Heart

Yttrian Fluorite - This fluorite is also sometimes known simply as Lavender Fluorite (the lavender color comes from the presence of Yttrium), and differs greatly from the other fluorites in that it is not as much of an organizer and in fact should NOT be used for this. It is actually used to attract WEALTH and ABUNDANCE (rare.)
Clear Fluorite - Pure fluorite energy (no impurities.) Chakra: Crown
