Its name comes from the Latin \u003cem\u003efluere\u003c\/em\u003e, “to flow”: it was added to ores to lower their melting point, a use still current in metallurgy. It also gave its name to fluorescence, because many crystals glow under ultraviolet light. Its colors, from purple to green and blue, come from defects in the crystal lattice and traces of elements such as rare earths; thus one thread can bring together several shades. Hardness 4 on the Mohs scale, density of approximately 3.2. Main deposits: China, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, and in France in the Massif Central.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e with a hardness of 4, fluorite is softer than quartz and scratches more easily. Store this thread separately from your harder stones, avoid impacts and household cleaners, and simply wipe it with a soft cloth. Prolonged exposure to full sun may slightly fade some purple shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy:\u003c\/strong\u003e violet fluorite is associated with the third-eye chakra. It is believed to have virtues of mental clarity, concentration, and calming, hence its nickname of “genius stone” in lithotherapy books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe thread you will receive:\u003c\/strong\u003e this limited edition has only five threads, from the same batch and shown together in the photo. The thread you will receive is one of them, with the same palette of purples; only the order and proportion of the lighter beads vary from one thread to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% natural product:\u003c\/strong\u003e the size, shape, shade, and number of beads may vary slightly from one thread to another.
