Fluorite

Fluorite, also known as fluorspar or calcium fluoride, is a remarkable mineral with a variety of properties:

      • Crystal structure:  Fluorite crystallizes in the cubic crystal system and develops cubic crystals with predominantly cubic or rarely octahedral crystal form .
      • Hardness :  Fluorite is the leading mineral (scale mineral) on the Mohs hardness scale for hardness 4 .
      • Color:  Pure fluorite is colorless and transparent, and can also be gray due to impurities. However, it can take on almost any color, usually in weak intensity, due to foreign impurities .  Green , violet to black-violet and yellow crystals are common .
      • Fluorescence:  One of the most striking properties of violet fluorite is its fluorescence.  Fluorescent material has the ability to produce visible light when exposed to UV radiation .
      • Chemical behavior:  Fluorite is dissolved by sulfuric acid .
      • Density:  The density of fluorite is about 3.2 g/ cm³ .

It is important to note that the specific properties of a particular piece of fluorite may depend on its exact chemical composition and the conditions of its formation . Therefore, individual pieces of violet fluorite may vary in their properties .


Origin of the name:

The name fluorite has its roots in industry. It comes from the use of the mineral as a flux in steel and aluminum processing. The mineral was originally called fluorspar by miners and is still called that today.

The discovery of fluorescence, an optical phenomenon visible in ultraviolet light, was made in 1824 by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs . The Irish mathematician and physicist George Gabriel Stokes named the phenomenon of fluorescence after fluorite in analogy to opalescence, which is why it is called opal .
