Pure Fluorite is Clear
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.
23rd Jazz in the Pines in Idyllwild
This year they will have 4 stages of music, 27 performing artists and 50 vendors selling everything from food and drink to hand crafts and fine art. And, that is where you will find Sherry and me. Two days, this Saturday and Sunday, August 20 and 21. We are located by the main stage, more traditional Jazz, our preference. This will be our third year.
If you like Jazz, consider escaping the heat and come up to Idyllwild. The festival is hosted by the Idyllwild Arts Foundation and is their premiere fund raising event of the year.
