Fluorite From Brazil 6.61 CT
Brazilian fluorite is a highly coveted mineral known for its vibrant colors—including rare pinks, deep purples, and striking blues—and unique pegmatitic origins. Mined primarily in Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, these crystals are prized by collectors and spiritual practitioners for their clarity and intense natural hue.
Key Varieties and Origins
- Pink Fluorite: Discovered in the Iron Quadrangle of Minas Gerais, this highly scarce variety displays vivid purplish-pinks and fuchsias.
- Blue and Aqua Fluorite: Found in the pegmatites of Espírito Santo (such as the Castelo and Fazenda do Centro pegmatites), these are prized for their glassy, gemmy cubic forms transitioning from aqua to deep blue.
- Green and Multi-colored: Common in Minas Gerais, these often form in granite matrices or as rich translucent layers, offering a mix of lavender, green, and deep purple.
Uses and Metaphysical Properties
Often called the "Genius Stone," Brazilian fluorite is used in meditation and crystal healing. It is believed to clear negative energy, enhance mental clarity, and support focus.
Care and Handling
Because it ranks a 4.0 on the Mohs hardness scale, Brazilian fluorite is considered soft and brittle. It should be handled with care to avoid scratching. Warning: Fluorite contains fluoride and should never be submerged in water to make elixirs or ingested.
