Fluorite, also called fluorine or fluorspar, is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2) and is the most important mineral belonging to the fluorinated family. It is a very common mineral in nature and has an extreme variety of colors: white, yellow, green, blue, red, pink, purple, lilac, champagne and brown. It is not clear where the name fluorite comes from. The two plausible derivations are either from the Latin "fluere", which means to flow, due to the low melting point of this mineral and its use as a flux in the metallurgical industry, or from the name given to it by English miners in the Middle Ages, who called fluorite "mineral flower" due to its beauty.
