Weight:62g Dimension:73”51”8 Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, is a colorful mineral made of calcium fluoride (CaF₂). It forms in a variety of colors, including purple, green, blue, yellow, and clear, and sometimes shows multiple colors within a single crystal. This wide color range, caused by impurities and crystal structure defects, makes it popular among collectors and gem enthusiasts. Fluorite is important in several industries. It’s used in the production of hydrofluoric acid, which is essential for various chemical processes, and also in steelmaking, ceramics, and optics, especially in lenses due to its low dispersion of light, which minimizes chromatic aberration. In metaphysical practices, fluorite is believed to have grounding, stabilizing, and cleansing properties, promoting mental clarity and focus.
