This very special fluorite is truly a crystal for our time. Recently collected from a historic mining location in the USA, only limited numbers of specimens of venus fluorite are available.
The colour is like the twilight sky, and as you look into it, you can imagine the evening star, Venus, lighting up the horizon, engendering hope. Venus fluorite displays pleochroism, changing from blue in natural light to violet in artificial light. It often occurs with streaks of pinky mauve that only appear when light is shining through it, similar to the atmospheric phenomena known as the Belt of Venus, the arch of pink light that can appear on the western horizon after sunset, often with a dark blue band between it and the earth.
Venus fluorite clears old fear and anger from the Solar Plexus, clears and opens the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, and creates a strong connection with the Crown Chakra. It relaxes the body, including the muscles, and calms the mind, allowing for inner expansion and deep meditation. Venus fluorite facilitates communication on all levels, especially with our guides, and helps us to access our own truth and wisdom, as well as the wisdom carried within the crystal itself. Many of us who have chosen to incarnate in the present time feel we are holding the cares of the world. Venus fluorite helps lighten that load, making it feel more of an honour than a burden.
These exceptional crystals will loose their beautiful colour and crystal energy with continued exposure to daylight, so we provide a pouch to keep them dark and safe when not in use.
