These are AA-grade Fluorite raw stones from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Fluorite crystallizes with perfect octahedral cleavage and often stacks purple, green, and clear zones in one stone. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at a soft Mohs 4, fully natural and untreated. A favorite focus stone for desks.
Fluorite comes in almost every color, often banded together in a single piece, green, purple, blue, clear. It's soft enough to carve, which is why you'll see so many fluorite shapes on the market. The color bands are the whole story.
The phenomenon of fluorescence was named after fluorite.
Hand-selected from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
In the tradition, fluorite shows up most often around coming back to the task in front of you, a simple anchor during practice, and cleansing. It's traditionally linked to the third eye and crown chakras. If that resonates, place one on a nightstand or on an altar where you sit. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
