Fluorite is a stone that operates on and enhances the mental plane. It is often used to increase the ability to concentrate, and many people have experienced that when they work with it on a regular basis it can amplify intellectual development.
Its greatest gift to us, though, is its ability to help us connect mind to spirit. It does so by helping to neutralize persistent and unwanted thought patterns so that the mind, instead of keeping itself distracted by constant activity, much of which is resistance to these undesired thoughts, can be at peace.
Once at peace, the mind becomes aware of its source, infinite and universal intelligence. This awareness, when achieved on a regular basis (see the fluorite octahedron layout below), creates a pathway for remaining attuned to universal consciousness while functioning as an individual on the physical plane. It is a primary stone for those who feel the need to be mentally focused, centered, and grounded.
It usually comes in blue, purple, yellow, and white (although green and pink fluorite sometimes occur). Blue stands for inner peace, mental calmness, and serenity. Purple represents a focus on the expression of spirit. Yellow is the color of understanding and manifestation. White represents the purest merging of the individual with universal spirit.
Meditating with Fluorite
The octahedron form of fluorite represents the merging of the physical, mental, and spiritual planes, thus symbolizing a state of completion.
A very easy fluorite octahedron layout consists of holding an octahedron in each hand and placing one above each eyebrow. If practiced regularly, this can help to balance the mind.
A more detailed layout uses seven octahedrons:
Place one stone in the center of the forehead. Place two others above the center of each eyebrow.
Place another octahedron at the throat and a third one on the navel.
Place the two remaining stones at the junctures of the legs and the body.
Keep these stones in position for at least eleven minutes. Breathe deeply and calm your mind by exhaling each thought as it enters your mind.
