Fluorite

Fluorite belongs to the halides and is classified in the cubic crystal system. It is found in nature as a single vein filler or in crystals, in combination with other minerals (commonly baryte). The most common forms of crystals are the cube, the octahedron (octahedron), the rhombic dodecahedron (composed of 12 rhombohedrons) and their double-walled forms. Skeletal crystals are very common.

Characteristic features include perfect octahedral cleavage. It can be transparent, translucent to opaque. Vein fluorite is characterized by a varied alternation of colours in bands ranging from white, yellow, brown, green, blue, violet to black; it is also usually clear, other colours being rare. The crystals are usually in a combination of one to three shades.
