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.
