SPECTACULAR MIXING PIECE OF MINERAL. TO BEGIN WE CAN OBSERVE THE FLUORITE CRYSTALS OF VERY GOOD QUALITY, AND WITHIN IT THE TYPICAL SPECKLES OF OIL IN SOME PIECES OF THE AREA (EMILIO MINE AND LA MOSCONA MINE). IF WE KEEP OBSERVING WE CAN SEE SMALL PYRITES ON THE CRYSTALS THAT GIVE THIS PIECE A TOUCH OF QUALITY. AND UNDER EVERYTHING ON ONE SIDE A DOLOMITE FLOWER IN PERFECT CRYSTALIZATION.
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.
