Fluorspar
Fluorspar/Caf2
Calcium fluoride (CaF2), also known as fluorite, is a mineral primarily composed of calcium and fluorine. It is the principal source of fluorine and occurs in cubic, isometric crystals or cleavable masses. When pure, fluorite is colorless and transparent, with a glassy luster. However, impurities in the stone can give it various colors, ranging from purple, blue, green, yellow, and colorless, to less common shades such as pink, red, white, brown, and black. The color is influenced by factors like the presence of impurities, radiation exposure, and the size of color centers within the crystal structure.
Fluorite is commonly found in limestone and dolomite formations, often in pure veins or associated with other ores such as lead, silver, and zinc. In addition to its striking visual appearance, fluorite is known for its fluorescence, where the mineral can emit light when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This makes it one of the most colorful and captivating minerals in the world.
