Fluorite is a beautiful crystal that comes in many different colours. Each one has a soft and gentle look and energy. I have just received a wonderful selection of candy fluorite and wanted to speak about the similarities and also the differences.
When it comes to candy fluorite, I find it really hard to have a singular favourite. There are soft greens, purples, pinks, blues and yellows. Sometimes there is a beautiful piece with one or more woven in. The green and yellow shades can be created by iron or Yttrium, the beautiful pinks can thank manganese. Cerium is linked to the violet tones and shades and the blues and deep purples are thanks to europium or hydrocarbons. That is the science bit, all courtesy of Mother Earth herself.
Crystal colours can give us a starting point in choosing the right one for us. These colour associations can be from traditional teachings, something symbolic or just personal preference. The important part is what resonates with YOU. Trust your instinct, the pull and the crystal itself.
Here is what the traditional associations mean:
Purple – often linked with intuition and the third eye. This is to help with awakening our intuition, seeing things from a new or different perspective.
Green – linked to our heart chakra and associated with growth, renewal and making room for change.
Blue – reach for this when you want to say something clearly, cleanly and with no nonsense. This will support your throat chakra.
Yellow – Linked to the solar plexus, this will help guide you into that confident space where self belief and trust lives. This one will get the fire in your belly moving!
Pink – helps with emotional release and brings things gently to the surface to be processed and released.
Banded – I think that this is a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to be just one thing at a time. All of the parts of our story, traits, likes, dislikes and challenges can exist to make one beautiful whole. Never dismiss any part, it makes us who and what we are and unique.
The colour doesn’t change what the mineral is, but it might change which piece catches your eye. Sometimes you are drawn to the shade you love. Sometimes we may reach for one that we feel an energy pull to and sometimes, it is just because. All are allowed and more than acceptable. We don’t have to overthink and make sense of it. Just allow. Trust that it is what we need and go with it.
Overall I call Fluorite Natures Chill Pill and it is my go to and what I recommend if there is a bit of tension or stress floating about. Carrying a tumble with you or having a larger piece in your room are great and I also find it a great one to hold when meditating. It helps relax the mind and body and encourages you to truly let go. I feel that it brings in an energy like a cool breeze that freshens as it cleans and clears. I would love to know what it feels like to you.
If you have several colours of fluorite, make some time to sit with them individually. Sit quietly with no expectations and see what comes up. Journal and enjoy. You may just be surprised in how each colour gives a subtle difference in energy and feels and you can pop them into your crystal first aid kit and use them to support you day to day.
There are no right or wrong answers. No exam. Enjoy the crystal and how it feels to you. Each crystal journey is unique. So are you. Embrace that. No expectations.
If you would like to learn about a new crystal each month, you can join my crystal club and be part of a beautiful community of likeminded souls.
Have a wonderful week and if things feel a bit too heavy, big or overwhelming, reach for the fluorite and experience the gentle vibrations and magic of Mother Earths very own chill pill.
