The so called Luna, half moon, or sickle of the moon, also waning and waxing moon, is a sign of fertility, related to life and death, and thus a popular symbol in many religions. It pinpoints changing seasons, ebb and tide (and related inundations as harbingers of fertility). The half moon was the attribute of Luna and more specifically of Selene. Crescent moons are often worn to bring luck and wealth. In some cultures, they're believed to be a protection against negativity; in Japan, for example, dangling them from the rearview mirrors of cars is thought to keep away evil spirits from your space.
Fluorite cleanses and stabilises the aura. It absorbs and neutralises negative energy and stress. Fluorite increases our powers of concentration, self-confidence and helps us in decision-making. It encourages positivity, balances the energies, and improves balance and coordination, both physically and mentally. Fluorite boosts the immune system and stimulates the regeneration and restructuring of cells and DNA, particularly in the skin and respiratory tract, and heals ulcers and wounds. It strengthens bone tissue, and alleviates rheumatism, arthritis and spinal injuries.
