Crystal Encyclopedia
How to Use This Directory:
Welcome to your all-in-one guide to crystals and their healing properties! Each crystal is listed by its main type, and then by sub type. For example, Blue Calcite is listed under “Calcite, Blue” so you would find it in the “C” section for “Calcite” rather than the “B” section for “Blue.”
Curious about how these crystals get associated with their given properties? Crystal meanings are rooted in history, intuitive insight, color energy, and more. Be sure to check out our article about where crystal properties come from with some additional information. I hope you find this crystal encyclopedia useful as you deepen your healing practice and knowledge of stones!
If there’s a stone that you’re interested in learning more about, but you don’t see it listed here, please feel free to contact us and request that Ashley do a quick write-up about it or feature it on an upcoming blog post article.

FLUORITE:
- FLUORITE, BLUE: (Also known as Blue Fluor Spar) Use to connect with beings from the angelic realm, open yourself to receiving soothing energy from angelic beings, soothe geopathic stress, balance and calm your emotions, bring inner peace and connect with the element of water (for cleansing, emotional support, etc.). Fluorite, once called the “home of the rainbow,” is a stone of amazing variety. First, there are the colors: green, purple, blue, yellow, often found in beautiful banded formations. Only tourmaline shows more color variation. But fluorite also shows fluorescence (and yes, it is the source of that word) under ultraviolet light, and, in some forms, with heating. One form called chlorophane will even glow if you simply hold it in your hand! The name “fluorite” comes from the Latin word for “flow,” because fluorite melts at fairly low temperatures. And because it’s so easy to melt, it has long been shaped into figurines, drinking vessels, and other useful items. The Romans thought fluorite cups made their wine taste better — probably because of the resin melted in to make the cup hold its form.
