Learn About Fluorite

Fluorite is part of the fluorite group. Also known as fluorspar, is a mineral with the chemical formula CaF2. It’s composed of calcium fluoride, and its remarkable variety of colors is due to the presence of different impurities within its crystal structure. These impurities, such as rare earth elements or transition metals, absorb specific wavelengths of light, resulting in a stunning range of hues, including purple, green, yellow, blue, and clear.

Fluorite crystals can form in various shapes, such as cubes, octahedrons, and dodecahedrons. The specific crystal habit is influenced by the conditions under which the mineral forms.

Fluorite is found worldwide, with significant deposits in countries like China, Mexico, Germany, and the United States. These locations offer the ideal geological conditions for the formation of high-quality fluorite crystals.

About Tanzanite Fluorite & Trade Names

Gemstones have many, many trade names. They often seek to increase the perceived value of a stone based on coloration, crystal formations, and more. Sometimes these names can be misleading, as with the case of Tanzanite fluorite. It is not related to true tanzanite. We use these names in our business to help customers find what they are looking for, because geological information is not shared as commonly about these stones in the retail industry. We here at Mayhem Canyon Mineral Co., however, like to encourage our customers to learn more and be empowered with knowledge when they make their buying choices. We will always do our best to educate and inform you. If we are ever incorrect with what we share, we welcome new information. Always feel free to contact us here.

A Note About the UV Reactivity of Fluorite

Fluorite is known for its fluorescence, but not all colors of fluorite exhibit this property. Generally, blue or blue-green fluorite tends to fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light, emitting a blue or violet glow. Some purple or pink fluorite specimens may also fluoresce, typically emitting a pink or red glow. On the other hand, yellow, green, or clear fluorite colors are less likely to fluoresce or may not fluoresce at all. The presence of certain trace elements or impurities in the fluorite crystal structure can influence its fluorescence properties, leading to variations in fluorescence among different colors of fluorite. Tanzanite fluorite is not known for its UV reactivity. If you would like to learn more about fluorite, check out this link.
