Also known as fluorspar, fluorite is the mineral form of calcium fluoride. Because its impurities give it a variety of semitransparent colorings, it is a popular ornamental and lapidary stone and has been used for these purposes since ancient times. The term fluorescence derives from this stone, as certain specimens display this visual phenomenon and glow under UV light.
Fluorite is believed to stimulate thought and enhance mental clarity. It is an excellent stone for removing negative energy. This may help to alleviate stress and confusion to provide for more powerful healing action of the mind, body and spirit.
