How to Care for Snowflake Fluorite
Cleansing
Rinse briefly in lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking or use of chemical cleaners.
Recharging
Recharge under moonlight or beside a clear quartz cluster. Do not leave in direct sunlight, as colors may fade over time.
Safety Notes
Fluorite is slightly soft (4 on Mohs scale). Handle with care. Keep away from acids and harsh abrasives.
Knowledge & Wisdom
History
Collected as a study mineral for its pastel banding and distinctive internal “snowflake” patterns, popular with students and designers.
Modern & Scientific Use
Used as a teaching specimen for octahedral cleavage, fluorescence, and color zoning in fluorite minerals.
Emotional & Body Association
pattern recognition, curiosity, careful planning
Archetype
The Pattern-Seeker: curious, observant, and detail-oriented—drawn to repeating shapes and soft, shifting color.
Grid Design & Feng Shui

Theme: “Grids, Dots & Drafting Paper”
Placement Concept:
• On design desks or craft tables beside rulers, sketchbooks, and swatch cards.
• Presentation: On graph paper, cork boards, or neutral trays that echo its internal “snowflake” motifs.
• Shape Layout: Points or slabs arranged in tidy grids or symmetrical pairs.
• Lighting: Cool light that shows off pastel zoning and internal shapes.
• Avoid: Overly busy prints right underneath, which can compete with its natural pattern.
