Description
Weight:43g Fluorite is a widely admired mineral known for its diverse range of colors, including purple, blue, green, yellow, colorless, and even multi-colored variations. It is composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and often forms in hydrothermal veins, particularly in association with minerals such as quartz, calcite, and barite. Fluorite is valued not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its practical applications in industries such as metallurgy, ceramics, and optics. Some notable characteristics and facts about fluorite: - **Fluorescence**: Many fluorite specimens exhibit fluorescence under ultraviolet light, which is where the mineral gets its name. - **Hardness**: Fluorite has a Mohs hardness of 4, making it relatively soft compared to other minerals. - **Crystal structure**: It typically forms cubic crystals but can also exhibit octahedral and other forms. - **Cleavage**: Fluorite has perfect octahedral cleavage, meaning it breaks along planes to form flat surfaces. Collectors often seek out fluorite specimens from well-known locations such as China, Mexico, and Illinois (USA), each offering unique colors and formations.
