Everything You Need To Know About Rainbow Fluorite, From Crystal Experts

Whether you're hoping to clear your mind or get focused, rainbow fluorite is a crystal you'll want to have in your collection. This beautiful stone comes in an array of mesmerizing colors and can be used to help promote calm, creativity, and more.

Rainbow fluorite is a variety of fluorite (also referred to as "fluorspar"), which is actually a type of mineral. As crystal expert and author of CRYSTAL365 and Crystal Muse Heather Askinosie tells mbg, "It has a multitude of colors ranging from white to purple to green, and every crystal has its own storyline and its own color vibrational frequency."

Varieties of fluorite, including rainbow, can be found all over the world, from Russia to China to South Africa, as well as in parts of the United States.

The key to working with rainbow fluorite—or any crystal, for that matter—is to program it with an intention. That way, you'll be reminded of your goal every time you look at the stone and can then take action to bring it to life.

Fluorite is thought to be a particularly good crystal for assisting with focus, clear thinking, and creative inspiration. "Its swirling bands of greens, purples, and blues have a calming effect on both mind and body," Van Doren adds. She considers it a great earth ally to keep on hand when you're working, studying, or just hoping to have a chill but productive day.

Have a big presentation coming up? Anticipating a difficult conversation? Van Doren says working with rainbow fluorite can help you go into it with a clear and calm mind.

And lastly, while rainbow fluorite can be great for productivity and focus, it's ultimately a calming stone that can help you remember to relax. So, Askinosie explains, it's a great crystal to keep in your bedroom.

To get the most benefits from your rainbow fluorite, you'll want to make sure you keep it consistently cleansed and charged up. According to Van Doren, sitting your stone in sunlight and moonlight can help keep it in good shape.

"Put it somewhere it will be able to soak in sunlight and moonlight for a full 24-hour cycle," she says, noting that an indoor windowsill would be a good place to store it when it's not in use.

After a long time in direct sun, be aware that this stone will start to slowly fade. "If you wish to keep one on your windowsill, I would say go for it, because this crystal's bands of colors are really shown off best in sunlight," Van Doren says. "Just know that after a year or two, its colors will be a bit lighter."
