**Fluorite – The Rainbow Gem of Clarity and Protection**
Fluorite is primarily composed of fluorine and calcium (CaF₂) and is an important mineral for extracting fluorine. It comes in a wide variety of colours and can also be transparent and colourless. Colourless fluorite is used to make special optical lenses. Under ultraviolet light or cathode rays, fluorite often emits a blue‑green fluorescence – which is how it got its name. It is also known as "soft crystal," "rainbow gem," or "rainbow stone" because it resembles crystal but has a lower hardness. When fluorite contains certain rare‑earth elements, it can also exhibit phosphorescence.

**Care Instructions**
**Avoid hard impacts**
Fluorite is most vulnerable to knocks. Because it is soft and has a very low hardness, take extra care to avoid striking it against hard objects. It is best not to wear fluorite jewellery on the same hand as harder gemstones to prevent scratching.
**Store in a cool place**
Keep fluorite away from high temperatures and strong direct light. Fluorite with abundant liquid inclusions or fractures can easily crack if exposed to heat or sudden temperature changes.
**Avoid contact with sweat and chemicals**
Long‑term exposure to sweat can damage the crystal's structure. Also avoid contact with acidic or alkaline chemicals. Remove it when swimming, soaking in hot springs, or exercising.

**Cleansing Methods**
Fluorite can be cleansed using a white quartz cluster or a Herkimer diamond.
For best results, place it near a Herkimer diamond or white quartz cluster every night before bed.
