After the formation of the large cubic purple Fluorite crystals a secondary growth of Chalcopyrite has formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece weighs 192g and measures 7cm x 4.5cm x 3cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorite:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOriginally 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 aluminium 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 speciality 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite is composed of calcium fluoride and is a member of the Halide family. It is transparent to translucent with a vitreous lustre 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis 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 jewellery that is not subject to impact or abrasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHailed as “the most colourful mineral in the world,” Fluorite forms in a wide variety of hues, typically purple, green, yellow, blue, and pure form – colourless. However, specimens of pink, red, white, brown, and black also occur. It is frequently multi-coloured with bands, or zones, of colour that intermingles. Impurities, exposure to radiation, and voids in the colour centres determine Fluorite’s colour 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOriginally 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 aluminium smelting processes.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKnown 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 colour varieties, and while each manifests its abilities in different ways, all serve the mental body, brain, and energetic levels of being.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite has a wonderful, stabilising effect on the emotional body, helping one to “think through” one’s feelings when overwhelmed and to allow a coherent pattern to emerge that dissolves confusion, vacillation, fear of the future, or of making a wrong decision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIt gently brings suppressed feelings to the surface for resolution and is beneficial in countering mental disorders. Fluorite helps dispel illusion and rigid thinking to reveal the truth and help one move beyond narrow-mindedness to the bigger picture. It increases self-confidence and structures one’s energy to unearth one’s true potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite is also an excellent crystal for helping one understand the balances intrinsic to relationships. It aids one in being impartial and unbiased and utilising fair reasoning in situations where it would be wise to see and act on information with objectivity. Fluorite brings stability to groups, linking them to a common purpose, and allows relationships, groups, and the individual to flourish within that which is beneficial to all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLast, but certainly not least are the perfectly formed miniature Clear Quartz clusters nestled in some of the voids. As Clear Quartz is best known as the “amplifier crystal” if you secure one of these pieces I am sure you will agree with how simply awesome they are.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite was the mineral upon which Bronze Age civilizations were built. Within the last century, it also became the mineral foundation for our modern electrical age. Our primary source of copper, chalcopyrite’s name comes from the Greek words ‘chalkos’ and ‘pyrites’, which respectively mean ‘copper’ and ‘striking fire’. With its metallic lustre and bright golden colour, chalcopyrite can fool people into thinking it is gold. It is one of two minerals, the other being pyrite, that are commonly known as ‘fool’s gold’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite is a striking, bright yellow, metallic mineral that occurs in nearly all sulphide deposits. Initially, it may be easy to confuse chalcopyrite with pyrite, but the two can be distinguished by their relative hardness and chalcopyrite’s iridescent tarnish. Pyrite is the harder of the two and cannot be easily scratched by a nail, unlike chalcopyrite. In its massive variety, chalcopyrite is one of the minerals most often mistaken for gold. While gold is ductile and malleable, chalcopyrite is brittle and will shatter if struck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Chalcopyrite is exposed to acid, its colour palette changes to deep purple, blues, violets, and yellows. This treated Chalcopyrite is what you will find at most shows and crystal shops, and is commonly referred to as “Peacock Ore”. Technically “ Peacock Ore” is another mineral called Bornite, which naturally tarnishes to these colours, but it quite rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite is one of the strongest healing stones in the mineral kingdom and is known as the chakra stone. As the chakra stone, it will cleanse, balance and align all your chakra energy centres individually. Once all are aligned, cleansed and balanced individually, this incredible multicolored stone will simultaneously align your entire physical body with that of your Spiritual and Ethereal energy bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you work with Chalcopyrite it will assist you in shifting your inner Self, aligning your thoughts and emotions in a very soothing, calming way. In addition, Peacock Ore resonates more finely with the Third Eye, allowing the user to re-discover long forgotten knowledge. It is the key to reconnecting yourself with ancient esoteric knowledge. Hold it above or in front of your Third Eye during meditation. It will in time, depending on how open you are, assist you in awakening your inner sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the many benefits of Chalcopyrite is the grounding of excess nervous energy, allowing the body and mind to release stress related emotions which in turn cause an imbalance throughout the body. It can cause a transformation that removes negative energy and replaces it with a strong, beneficial, positive energy. It possesses the unique property of energizing not only the area on which it is placed, but all affects all of the surrounding area as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChalcopyrite is a Enhancer Mirror Crystal. Enhancers are minerals and crystals with internal crystal lattices of perfect cubic symmetry and internal harmony. They can focus and enhance our energy on the feelings of improvements we desire and help turn them to the thoughts that will produce the actions we need to improve. These are the “building block” crystals. Their internal structure of blocks builds up perfect crystal lattices that can help us focus our efforts to build on our successes, achievements and enhance our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50154133291285,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/IMG_7999_8f0bd4dd-9436-4ee9-8e04-124a803c4944.jpg?v=1788653763","url":"https:\/\/naturesgiftsbychris.com\/products\/192g-chalcopyrite-encrusted-cubic-purple-fluorite-specimen-1b-from-hunan-china","provider":"NaturesgiftsByChris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
