Fluorite bracelet 14 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 medical remedies, including for treating kidney and liver diseases. The Chinese have a long history with the stone as well. They used it in carvings for religious and spiritual purposes, such as making ritual wands. The crystal plays an important part in the making of Chinese porcelain, which remains highly valued today. During the Middle Ages fluorite was often thought to be connected with sorcery because of its ability to fluoresce, or glow, when exposed to ultraviolet light. This association carried on through the 19th century and led to the use of the mineral as a decorative stone in Gothic Revival architecture. Artefacts made from the stone have been found in Egyptian tombs, which shows its use in burial ceremonies and as a symbol of wealth and status. In the 18th century fluorite played a part 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 be cubic, octahedral or dodecahedral in form, and this has earned it the nickname "the Stone of Genius".
