Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon. Mohs scale of mineral hardness, based on scratch Hardness comparison, defines value 4 as Fluorite.
The name fluorite comes from the Latin words fluo or fluere, meaning âto flow,â because fluorite melts easily and is used as flux in the manufacture and refining of steel, aluminum, and lead. Formerly called fluorspar, usually translucent fluorite comes in shades of white, brown, blue, yellow, purple, red, colorless, and green. Chemically, it is calcium fluoride, CaF2. Its crystals, commonly cubic, are transparent or translucent and under certain conditions exhibit fluorescence.
