1" Fluorite Half-Oval Pendant – Sterling Silver

**Fluorite Half Oval Pendant – Sterling Silver**

Half minty green, half dreamy purple, meeting in the middle like a watercolor painting that couldn't pick a favorite. So it kept both. This smooth half oval of fluorite is a two-for-one deal for your heart and your head.

Fluorite's name comes from the Latin fluere, "to flow," because it was used as a flux to help metals melt and flow in steelmaking. It's also the mineral that gave us the word *fluorescence*: many fluorite pieces glow under ultraviolet light, often a bright blue. (Try it with a blacklight. You're welcome.) It comes in a whole rainbow of colors, and pieces like this one, with two colors side by side in a single stone, are a fan favorite.

Fluorite is known as the "Genius Stone" and a stone of discernment. It's said to sharpen focus, organize scattered thoughts, support learning, and help you think clearly and fairly, which makes it a favorite for students, overthinkers, and anyone with too many browser tabs open. Each color brings its own magic. The **green** is linked to the heart chakra, for clearing out stale emotions and inviting growth and renewal. The **purple** is linked to the third eye, for intuition, insight, and mental clarity. Together, they help your heart and mind finally get on the same page. Fluorite is associated with Pisces and Capricorn.

The fluorite is set in 925 sterling silver, whose cool, bright shine makes both the green and the purple pop.
