===== Magical Uses =====
Fluorite is one of the New Age stones. It is becoming increasingly easier to obtain in stores.

Fluorite is found in various colors and in masses of interlocking, interpenetrating cubes. Single crystals that resemble two pyramids fused together at their bases are available for sale as well.

This stone has no long history of magical use; its influences are only now being discovered.

In general, however, fluorite seems to work with the conscious mind. lt is useful for straightening your thoughts, for reducing emotional involvement in a situation in order to gain a more accurate perspective.

It strengthens its user's analytical abilities and is useful for theorizing and assimilating information.

Because it affects the conscious (intellectual) mind, fluorite quells strong emotions and smooths thought over the angry sea of desperation, depression, or anger.

Some workers use fluorite to strengthen the effects of other stones.</ifauth>
