"Given the nickname "genius stone" by medieval alchemists, rainbow fluorite is a crystal of focus, clear-thinking, and inspiration," says Van Doren. "If you struggle with concentration or hyperactivity, this multicoloured stone helps clear mental fog and disorganisation, making it a fantastic crystal ally for study, work, and general productivity. Fluorite is very happy living on a desk or in a work space."
Van Doren also notes that the fluriote is believed to help reduce the tiring effect of computer screens — kind of like blue-light glasses in crystal form. "A "cooling" crystal, fluorite helps decrease inflammation in both mind and body, she explains. "Soak in a bath with tumbled stones to reduce bodily pain and tensions (great for getting over a cold!), and carry a piece with you to stay calm and cool-headed during daily life. Fluorite's chakra resonance changes according to a specimen's dominant colour; mostly green crystals have a heart-calming and throat-opening energy, while those with more purple are aligned with the crown chakra."
