WE PRESENT YOU THIS SAMPLE WITH FLUORITE CRYSTALS MIXED WITH QUARTZ CRYSTALS FROM THE AREA OF BERBES IN ASTURIAS CRYSTALS OF VERY GOOD QUALITY AND LIGHT TONES THAT MAKE THIS PIECE SPECIAL AND EXCLUSIVE.
Fluorite is a mineral of group III (halides) that, according to the Strunz classification, forms the elements calcium and fluorine.
Its structure belongs to the cubic system, and it appears with cubic, octahedral and rhombododecahedral habit.
Fluorite presents physical properties of thermoluminescence and fluorescence.
In industry, it is mainly used in iron and steel metallurgy. It is used as a source of fluorine and hydrofluoric acid, also in the glazing of ceramics and in the manufacture of optical glasses.
The beauty of the specimens makes it a highly appreciated mineral by museums and private collectors.
