Fluorite, a Gem of many colors


Some minerals only come in one main color where others are like Skittles--they are every color. Fluorite is such a gem. It is a calcium fluoride crystal that has a hardness of 4 on the Mos scale with octahedral growth patterns. Why is it called Fluorite?  Because it has the property of fluorescence which is the display of vivid glowing colors under UV light. Kinda like glow in the dark Skittles but without the dark.


Each color of Fluorite has its own unique 'gift'. Yellow Fluorite is a mental stone that enhances your intellectual abilities while pink Fluorite heals the emotional body and focuses on the higher heart chakra--yes you have two heart centers. Green Fluorite cleanses the heart center and purple Fluorite purifies the mind and focuses on Spirit. Black Fluorite purifies your astral bodies (aura, spirit) and Blue focuses on your throat area to help you clearly express yourself. And then there is multicolored Florite which is the best for energy cleansing and repair of the aura and it's field.

My Teacher, Daryl Thompson

Daryl Thompson Taught Me More Than Just How To Wire Wrap Gemstones Into Jewelry.  Painting of Daryl by a fan. (I don't know their name) Before I go into detail about his legendary music, let me introduce Daryl to you from my eyes.  In 2007, I was in Atlanta walking through Little 5 Points trying to sell my art. I was broke, a student in Job Corps, trying to make extra cash to help my mother get off the streets. I found myself in Elegance Boutique and met Denise and Daryl for the first time. The Daryl I met was kind, caring, and very informative about jewelry and gemstones. I felt at home from that first moment and knew that these two people were special. Time passed and I became close to them both. Daryl needed a website and online presence for his music. I didn't know he was a musician. I thought, "Okay cool. He can rock out," I had no idea of the gem I found until I was typing up his music resume for the website and learned he was a Grammy winner. Yes

Jeremejevite: One of the most rarest crystals on earth

Image
Since moving to Arlington, TX, a DFW suburb, I stumbled upon this gem of a store. The owner, Trey, is super friendly and knows his stuff when it comes to gems and minerals. Trey does it all: he wire wraps, solders, cuts gems and minerals shaping them into cabs (cabachons for those of you who are not nerds like me) facets gems like emerald and diamonds. I'm so glad I found Trey and his shop which is right across the street from my apartment.  Today I went over to Power of The Rainbow to pick out a moonstone for a commission. And maybe a couple of extras to wrap and sell. Trey and I got to talking about Phenakite and, yes, I'm gonna make some earrings, but he pulled out this little, tiny, almost microscopic piece that had a name so huge. This piece, he told me, would sell for about $300ish on the market. He was selling it for $50. Why? Because Trey is the type of person who, when he gets  good deal, he makes sure he passes that on to his customers.  Anyway, Trey was kin

Gemstones: Semi Precious and Precious

Image
What Are Precious and Semi Precious Gemstones? When most people think of gemstones, they think of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. They don't think of phenakite, moldavite, morganite, alexandrite, carnelian, cinnabar, or others. Most people think of precious stones. And semi precious stones like amethyst and citrine come to mind also.  So what makes them precious or semi precious? Definition of a Gemstone First, a gemstone or jewel is a mineral that is been cut and polished to sparkle and dazzle. All gemstones are not minerals though. Some are organic like amber and pearl. Today, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphire are considered precious stones and the rest are semi precious. Why? I have no clue. It's just the way modern society has it and they got their ideas from the Ancient Greeks. Read more here. But gemstones such as Tsavorite, a form of green garnet, can cost more than an emerald. Why? Because some semi precious stones are rare. Gemstone Groups
