Is it true that fluorite glows? Where does its name come from?
Fluorite has the property of emitting light when exposed to ultraviolet light or heat.
The reason why fluorite glows is because the energy of the atoms increases when they react with ultraviolet light, etc. This same luminescence phenomenon can be seen not only with fluorite, but also with diamonds and other materials.
Its Japanese name is "fluorite" because it fluoresces when exposed to light. Because of this characteristic, the stone's fluorescent color is also called "fluorescence" after the name fluorite.
The name fluorite comes from the Latin "fluere," which means to flow. Fluorite has the ability to dissolve metals, and it is said that it was named after the way metal melts and flows.
Caring for Fluorite
Fluorite has a hardness of 4, making it soft and vulnerable to impacts, making it prone to cracking, so it must be handled with extreme care.
Fluorite is not very water-resistant, so do not purify it by soaking it in water. It is possible to wash it lightly with water using a neutral detergent. After cleaning, rinse the detergent thoroughly and wipe off the water immediately.
Also, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause fading, so be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet (UV) light.
Be sure to take care of your jewelry after wearing it to ensure it lasts a long time.
Summary: Fluorite provides healing and concentration
Fluorite has various effects depending on its color, such as blue activating the brain and pink improving luck in love. In addition, all colors have the same effect of releasing stress and improving concentration and creativity.
If you want to generate fresh ideas for work or other areas, try picking up fluorite at a souvenir shop in your travel destination. Furthermore, visiting the latest attractions and art spots unique to your destination will make your trip even more stimulating.
