A Fluorite Spike typically refers to a unique or striking formation of fluorite crystals that are elongated or point-shaped, resembling a “spike.” Fluorite itself is a mineral that comes in various colors, including purple, green, blue, yellow, and clear. It is highly prized for its beautiful clarity and vibrant hues, and can form in various crystal shapes, including cubes, octahedrons, and occasionally more elongated or spiked forms.

Physical Properties:

• Chemical Formula: CaF₂ (Calcium Fluoride)
• Color: Fluorite can appear in many colors, including purple, blue, green, yellow, colorless, and sometimes even pink, red, or black. The color variations are often due to trace elements and impurities.
• Hardness: 4 on the Mohs scale (relatively soft mineral)
• Crystal System: Isometric (cubic)
• Cleavage: Perfect octahedral cleavage, which means it breaks along flat, smooth planes.
• Transparency: Fluorite can be transparent to translucent, depending on the specimen.

Spiritual and Metaphysical Properties:

Fluorite is also considered to have metaphysical properties, especially in crystal healing. It’s said to help with:

• Mental clarity and focus
• Protection from negative energies
• Balancing and cleansing energy fields

The colors of the stone are often linked to specific chakra healing practices: green for the heart chakra, purple for the third eye, and blue for the throat chakra.

Fun Fact:

Fluorite is sometimes called the “most colorful mineral in the world” due to its wide array of hues. In fact, the name fluorite is derived from the Latin word fluere, which means “to flow,” referencing its use in the fluxing process of metallurgy.
