About Fluorite

Fluorite is calcium fluoride, CaF2, an isometric mineral well known for cubic crystals, perfect octahedral cleavage, vitreous luster, and a Mohs hardness of 4. It occurs in many colors, with purple among the most familiar and sought-after varieties for mineral displays.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations
