	FLUORITE (Calcium Fluoride)
		Often specimens of fluorite and amethyst with similar shades of purple are used in mineral identification classes to illustrate the folly of using color as the sole means to identify minerals.
		Most specimens of fluorite have a single color, but a significant percentage of fluorites have multiple colors and the colors are arranged in bands or zones that correspond to the shapes of fluorite's crystals.
		Fluorite is also used as a source of fluorine for hydrofluoric acid and fluorinated water.

	FLUORITE Chapter 23. Halides and carbonates
		Fluorite from the orebodies is largely fluorescent in ultraviolet; that found in the Franklin Marble is commonly non-fluorescent.
		Fluorite is associated with many minerals, most commonly with calcite, pyrite, dolomite, sphalerite, and quartz, and also with willemite, titanite, rhodonite, phlogopite, scapolite, rhodochrosite, and others.
		Fluorite is also present as druses, late-stage crystals in veins, and breccia cements; an especially notable breccia consists of yellow willemite prisms up to 6 cm in length cemented by colorless fluorite.

	GemRocks: Fluorite (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In general, fluorite's easy cleavages make it less than desirable for several gemrock uses; to overcome this problem, some fluorite has been impregnated to strengthen it and make it less likely to break along any of its cleavages when it is submitted to carving or other fashioning processes.
		Also, it has been reported that some fluorite expands and splits (cleaves) when heated, in some cases as the result of the mineral's being left in bright sunlight; unfortunately, such breakage may be intensified for fluorite that has been previously immersed in water, which is the way people frequently display it.
		Fluorite was named the official state mineral of Illinois in 1965; this status, however, was given because of its economic value as a nonmetallic ore, not because of its use as a gemrock or gemstone

	INTRODUCTION TO FLUORITE
		Fluorite was the theme mineral for the 1998 Tucson Gem and Mineral Society Show, often called The Main Show, during Tucson’s February mineral extravaganza.
		Fluorite is certainly the most attractive mineral to be found in the Swiss and French Alps, explaining why alpine minerals were chosen as a companion locality theme at the TG & MS show.
		Since fluorite has a hardness that is quite consistent, he chose it as 4 on his 1-to-10 scale Remember, minerals on the Mohs hardness scale do not increase in hardness by a factor of 1 each time.

	Physical Properties of Fluorite for Identification and Classification Purposes.
		Fluorite is a mineral famous for its many colors caused primarily by impurities of hydrocarbons within the composition.
		Fluorite occurs in clear, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, in multiple intensities of each of those colors and is often called the most colorful of all the minerals.
		Fluorite crystals are typically cubic but has several other crystal habits from octohedron, which appears as two pyramid forms connected perfectly at the base to the 24 triangle-faced tetrahexahedral form But regardless of the complexity, the crystal forms are always isometric.

		Fluorite crystals in varying shades of yellow and green have also been found in the mine, and the rarest are combinations of the two.
		Another type of lough is low and wide-spreading, paved with fluorite and roofed with pure galena 6 to 12 inches thick in some cases, chemical affinity thus showing itself curiously antigonistic to the force of gravitation; more commonly however these minerals are found irregularly distributed over floor and roof alike.
