Tealight holder made of raw green Fluorite from China. Atmospheric light in every room.

Fluorite has been used for centuries as a flux to make it easier to melt metals from ore and to improve slag drainage. For this reason, fluorite is also called fluorspar. Fluorite can have many colors: white, yellow, orange, pink, brown, green, blue, purple and transparent. The crystal shape is clearly visible: usually a regular octahedron. These facts make the mineral attractive to collectors. The phenomenon of fluorescence is named after this gemstone. When working with metal, it was discovered that fluorite glows in the dark if it has previously been exposed to daylight. The element fluorine, discovered in 1886, also takes its name from fluorite. Fluorite is a real study and thinking stone. It helps to see the broad outlines of the study material and to make connections with existing knowledge. This makes the information easier to organize and the material can be better absorbed. This mineral brings you to your core in a gentle, yet quick way. It brings out the best in you, both physically and mentally. Because fluorite comes in so many colors, it was and is often used to imitate other gemstones.
