The Facts
• Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form from calcium fluoride, belonging to the halide minerals.
•Chemical formula of CaF₂
•It has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale.
•Fluorite is a colorful mineral, both in visible and ultraviolet light, and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses.
•Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels.
•The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride for hydrofluoric acid production.
•In the laboratory, calcium fluoride is commonly used as a window material for both infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths, since it is transparent in these regions (about 0.15 µm to 9 µm) and exhibits extremely low change in refractive index with wavelength. Furthermore, the material is attacked by few reagents
This is high quality yet cheap affordable Fluorite.
Safety / Caution
•Keep out of reach from children!
•Do not ingest
•May be toxic if ingested.
