Fluorite

In this video, we explore fluorite, a mineral with the chemical composition CaF₂. Learn about its array of colors, from purple to green, its fluorescence under UV light, and its hardness (4 on the Mohs scale). Fluorite has perfect cleavage in four directions and crystallizes in the cubic system. Discover its specific gravity (3.0 to 3.3), its vitreous luster, and where it can be found, including in China, Mexico, and the United States. Fluorite is important in industries like steelmaking and optics.
