5lbs+ Banded Fluorite Crystal Purple Green Silky Dots Standing Tower | 2630 Grams | 5lbs 13oz This tower stands up, in fact it stands on two different angles - mentioning it because the photos do not reflect that. Would work really well as a bookstand due its size and weight. 10 x 4.5 x 1.5
❤️ Fluorite is a part of the halide group of non-silicate minerals. In fluorite, the element calcium ionically bonds to fluoride ions. Fluorite’s chemical formula is CaF2. Fluorite comes from the Latin, fluere = “to flow” (due to its use as a flux). The word “fluorescent” comes from fluorite, as it often displays this effect. Fluorine also derives it’s name from fluorite, as fluorite is a major source of the element. It comes in a large variety of colors, including purple, lilac, pink, blue, green, golden-yellow, brown, and sometimes colorless. Some even call it “the most colorful mineral in the world”. Fluorite has an isometric crystal system. Its morphology is primarily cubes, less often octahedrons, some hexoctahedrons and tetrahedrons, and rarely dodecahedrons. Twinning is often seen in fluorite, as well.
❤️ Fluorite is a reference species on Mohs Hardness Scale, representing the minerals with a hardness of 4. It has a vitreous (or glassy) luster, but is dull when massive. The perfectionist in me is pleased by fluorite’s four perfect cleavage planes. Fluorite is an extremely popular mineral specimen for collectors. It is also used as a flux (mentioned above) in iron smelting, a gemstone, a source of fluorine, and in some special optical lenses.
❤️ Fluorite Healing Properties: Fluorite is a stone heralded for its spiritual detoxification abilities and tendency to transform negative energy into positive energy, boosting our mental clarity and promoting peace of mind.
❤️ All our stones are stored at our small ranch in California and are allowed to soak up the peaceful and loving environment. They are not stuffed away in boxes or crates, but outside on display until they change homes. There are many animals here, many previously neglected and abused that are drawn to the stones; no doubt the energy makes them curious, as animals, being pure souls, can pick up gentle well-meaning vibrations better than we can. In the process I am sure they lovingly leave some of their innocent essence behind for the stones to soak up.
❤️ Every stone carries the Universe inside, just look real close.
