Purple Fluorite Meanings and Introduction

Fluorite is one of the most collectible and highly sought-after crystals in the world, loved by mineralogists and metaphysical healers alike. Its remarkable cubes are sometimes almost too perfect to believe, emerging like magic treasure in matrix rock or tightly stacked cube on cube like a futuristic city in miniature. Fluorite is an extraordinary creation of Nature, beautiful and luminous, soft and glassy, often vibrant in color, with an internal structure of order and perfection that resonates with the human mind like no other crystal. It carries a calm, stable frequency that brings order to chaos, scatters, and discordant energies into cohesion and harmony. Fluorite supports spirituality and thought focus and concentration, and balance in all aspects of one’s life.

Known as the “Genius Stone,” Fluorite represents the highest state of mental achievement, boosting aptitude and discernment, absorbing new information, and helping one work through complex issues. Its energy stimulates the electrical charge of brain cells, drawing in more life force (prana) as it encourages both hemispheres to work harmoniously together in balance. Expanding consciousness advances the mind to greater mental, spiritual, and psychic awareness. It stirs creativity and provides a limitless range of avenues for exploration. Fluorite forms in many color varieties, and while each manifests its abilities in different ways, all serve the mental body, brain, and energetic levels of being.

"Purple (Violet) Fluorite is the most peace-giving of the Fluorites, dedicated to the devotional aspects of the mind that connect with Spirit."

It purifies the mind and enhances mental acuity, stimulating the Third Eye Chakra in order to bring a logical and conscious awareness of the mental processes and how one thinks. It is an excellent crystal for focused meditation and boosts one’s intuitive and psychic abilities. Purple Fluorite is a stone of protection, thought to become more protective the longer it is used, and is an ideal “Dream Crystal,” defending one from evil spirits and bad dreams. It radiates a marvelous energy throughout the light body relieving stress, spiritual discomfort, and physical blockages.

Fluorite is composed of calcium fluoride and is a member of the Halide family. It is transparent to translucent with a vitreous luster and crystallizes in well-formed isometric cubes, nodules, clusters, or massive forms. It is the only common mineral with perfect cleavage in four directions. This characteristic may be visible to the naked eye in clear stones as subtle etchings permeating the entire crystal.

This cleavage frequently produces perfect octahedrons and, more rarely, dodecahedrons and other complex forms, including penetration twins as if one cube were growing into or out of another. Fluorite is the reference mineral for a hardness of four on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it too soft for everyday wear as a gem. However, it is carved into wonderful faceted stones and sold as collector’s specimens or used in jewelry that is not subject to impact or abrasion.

Hailed as “the most colorful mineral in the world,” Fluorite forms in a wide variety of hues, typically purple, green, yellow, blue, and pure form – colorless. However, specimens of pink, red, white, brown, and black also occur. It is frequently multi-colored with bands, or zones, of color that intermingles. Impurities, exposure to radiation, and voids in the color centers determine Fluorite’s color and help give it a wonderful luminous quality. Its crystals were some of the first specimens studied for the phenomenon of “fluorescence,” which was named after Fluorite, and are thought to be caused when trace amounts of yttrium, cerium, europium or other rare earth elements substitute for calcium in the mineral structure. Some varieties of Fluorite may also be phosphorescent, thermoluminescent, and/or triboluminescent.

Fluorite occurs in large deposits in many locations around the world, most commonly as vein fillings in rocks that have been subjected to hydrothermal activity and contain metallic ores such as Lead, Zinc, Silver, Galena, or Sphalerite. It may also be associated with Barite, Quartz, and Calcite, among others, and is often a primary or secondary mineral in marbles, granites, dolostone, and limestone. Originally known as Fluorspar or Fluorospar, Fluorite is primarily an industrial mineral with a low melting point deriving its name from the Latin fleure, meaning “to flow,” and refers to its use as a flux in the steel and aluminum smelting processes. It has numerous uses in the ceramic and chemical industries as a source of fluoride, fluorine, and hydrofluoric acid and for use in glazes, enamels, and specialty glass. High-quality Fluorite is also used in making top-grade optical lenses for cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. The term “Fluorspar” is still commonly used in the industrial and chemical trades, while “Fluorite” is used for mineralogical, lapidary, and most other references.

In addition to Purple Fluorite, the following varieties are also widely utilized for their metaphysical properties. All carry the general properties of Fluorite in addition to their specific qualities.

Chakra Balancing Healing Properties

chakra healing

Purple Fluorite stimulates the Third Eye Chakra and mental energies in general. It is one of the most powerful of the New Age Stones, bringing onto the physical plane higher forms of truth and integrating those concepts into the mind, which in turn manifests on the material plane.

The Third Eye, or Brow Chakra, is the center of our perception and command. It directs our sight and everyday awareness of the world. Our consciousness is located here, and we relate to ourselves through this chakra. It balances the important and the unimportant, sorting meaning from data and impressions. It commands the energy flow within the body. When the Brow Chakra is balanced, we see clearly and understand what we see. We can interpret visual cues, and our perception is high. Our thoughts and internal communications within ourselves are healthy and vibrant. We are open to new ideas, dreams, and visions and can be quietly observant and reflective. We can control the flow of energy within all the chakras.

A simple Fluorite balancing can be accomplished by lying face up and holding a Fluorite octahedron in each hand, with one placed above each eyebrow. This will balance the hemispheres of the brain and clear the mind of unwanted mental debris.

The pyramid symbolizes the ultimate balance each soul must achieve to complete its evolutionary process.

Meanings in Ancient Lore and History

history lore books

In the ancient world, many believed Fluorspar was crystallized light and could help a man achieve enlightenment by bringing light into the brain. It was also deemed to be the “home of the rainbow” because of its many colors, which often grew intermingled or side by side. To the ancient Chinese, purple Fluorite offered protection from evil spirits, and its clusters were considered to be “dream makers.” The Romans believed drinking from a vessel made of Fluorite, like Amethyst, would prevent a person from becoming intoxicated.

While some of Fluorite’s magical properties may have been overlooked or labeled in early texts as other stones, its value in many cultures of the world is evidenced by its use, dating back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used Fluorite for carving scarabs and statues of the gods, while green and other fluorites were carved into vessels by the Chinese and, at times, used as a substitute for Jade. The Romans, Celts, Britons, French, Germans, American Indians, and others all prized the beauty of Fluorite, carving it into figurines, deity statues, art, totems, amulets, and talismans, as well as decorative bowls, cups, dishes, and vases. 

Fluorspar vessels were highly prized by the Romans for their rarity, intricate banding, and for special flavor given to the wine drank from them, a result of the resin used to help hold the crystals together during the shaping process. Pliny the Elder, Roman historian, naturalist, and author of the first encyclopedia of stones and their powers speaks of at least one Roman noble who enjoyed chewing the edge of his vessel. He also notes that Emperor Nero is reputed to have paid over a million sesterces for one Fluorspar cup ($240,000 today). Pliny considered Fluorite “a most precious substance,” and in referring to the delicacy of this stone, he wrote, “It came to be deemed the proof of wealth, the true glory of luxury, to possess something that might be destroyed in a moment.”

Roman sources also speak of an incident where Julius Caesar’s predecessor, “Pompey the Great,” took six Fluorite vases from Mithridates’ treasure and had them installed in the temple of Jupiter. There is also the mention of a valuable Fluorite vase taken by the Roman Emperor Augustus from the Pharaoh’s palace in Alexandria, Egypt.

Rare artifacts of Fluorite have also been unearthed in America, in cultivated fields and burial sites of the southern Illinois-western Kentucky Fluorspar region. These remarkable carvings date from the Mississippian Moundbuilders era, between 900 and 1650 A.D., and reflect the native peoples of the Mississippi Valley. A large number of colorful Fluorite beads, pendants, and ear ornaments have been found, as well as four complete, or almost complete, Fluorite statues of figures in the seated position. They range in size from nine to twelve inches tall. The head of what would be a fifth statue was found in Tennessee, and the head and shoulders of a sixth statue from southern Illinois represent the total known Mississippian Fluorite statues. Illinois, whose state mineral is Fluorite, has a museum dedicated to Fluorspar that sits on the site of an actual mine last worked in 1954. The Ben E. Clement Mineral Museum in Marion, Kentucky, houses the world’s largest Fluorite collection.  

Hydrofluoric acid formed from Fluorite has been used for etching glass since 1670, and in the 1700’s was diluted with water to a near infinitesimal degree and used for matters of health. This mixture was reported to alleviate symptoms of kidney disease, shrink varicose veins to half their size, grow fresh hair on a bald head, and cure sores on the fingers or within the nostrils. 

An early eighteenth-century experiment in Germany was conducted to demonstrate the effects precious stones and minerals had upon a sensitive person. The woman chosen for the experiment was Friederike Hauffe, known as the “Seeress of Provorst,” a woman believed to possess remarkable clairvoyant powers. She felt nothing when the first few stones were placed in her hand. Still, on coming into contact with Fluorspar, she experienced deep muscle relaxation and occasionally entered a “somnambulistic state” (as if in a trance or moving within a dream).
