Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, is a mineral composed primarily of calcium fluoride (CaF2). It belongs to the halide mineral group and is commonly found in various geological environments, including hydrothermal veins, sedimentary rocks, and as a gangue mineral in ore deposits.
Fluorite typically exhibits a wide range of colors, including purple, blue, green, yellow, pink, and colorless, often occurring in beautiful crystalline formations. Its coloration is often attributed to impurities present in the crystal lattice.
