Fluorite bracelet 11 mm

Product information

In ancient Rome the crystal was highly valued for its ability to encourage mental clarity and focus. The mineral was also used in various medicinal remedies, including for treating kidney and liver disease. The Chinese have a long history with the stone too. They used it in carvings for religious and spiritual purposes, such as making ritual wands. The crystal played an important part in the making of Chinese porcelain, which remains highly valued today. In the Middle Ages fluorite was often thought to be connected with witchcraft because of its ability to fluoresce, or glow, when exposed to ultraviolet light. That association carried on into the 19th century and led to the mineral being used as a decorative stone in Gothic Revival architecture. Artefacts made from the stone have been found in Egyptian tombs, which shows its use in funeral ceremonies and as a symbol of wealth and status. In the 18th century fluorite played a role in the development of modern chemistry. It was used to isolate the element fluorine for the first time, which led to the discovery of other elements in the same group. The crystal is known for its unique crystal structure, which can take a cubic, octahedral or dodecahedral form, and this has earned it the nickname “the Genius Stone”.
