Mention fluorite and people think toothpaste.  We think cool mineral and fluorescence.  I made these pendants from fluorite mined in Mexico.  The green and purple colors come from other impurities present when it was formed.  Under ultraviolet light, these pendants glow green, others, violet.

Fluorite received its name in 1797 from the Latin fluere, to flow, for its use as a flux.  Its uses range from ceramics to jewelry and other chemical applications.  Metaphysical characteristics include healing, strength and mental clarity.

This coming weekend we will be in Idyllwild for the 23rd Annual Jazz in the Pines.  We are looking forward to the music.
