Bolivianite
Physical Information
Bolivianite is a trade name for a natural mix of fluorite and serpentine from Bolivia. It shows swirling patterns of green, purple, lavender and cream. The fluorite brings the bright purple and green tones, while the serpentine adds soft, earthy greens. Because the two minerals grew together in their own way, no two pieces look alike.
Bolivianite is a rare material and is mostly sold as polished pieces, palm stones and spheres. Both fluorite and serpentine are fairly soft, so the stone can scratch easily. Store it apart from harder crystals, keep it out of strong sunlight and clean it with a soft, dry cloth.
Metaphysical Properties
Bolivianite is known as a stone of harmony. It combines the clarity associated with fluorite with the calm, grounding energy of serpentine. It is believed to support emotional balance, clear thinking and positive change. Many people use it in meditation or during periods of change to stay calm and confident.
It is associated with the heart chakra, the third eye chakra and the crown chakra. People often choose it when they want to bring their thoughts and feelings into balance, trust their intuition and move forward with a clear, peaceful mind.
