Fluorite: The Rainbow Crystal of Clarity and Protection
Geological Facts:
Fluorite is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride and belongs to the halide group of minerals. It forms in a variety of colors, including purple, blue, green, yellow, and clear. The wide range of colors is due to various impurities present during its formation. Fluorite often crystallizes in cubic or octahedral shapes and is found in hydrothermal veins, sedimentary rocks, and sometimes as a primary mineral in igneous rocks.
