Fluorite Description

Flourite, which is also known as the “Genius Stone” or “Stone of Brilliance”, is a halide mineral that is also known as fluorspar.  Completely pure fluorite is colorless and transparent, but often impurities and sometimes hydrocarbons will give the crystal its color.  At times, suppliers will apply an oil treatment to enhance the color and luster.  Flourite can occur in just about any color, but the most common colors are purple, blue, clear, green, yellow, white and rainbow.  Derived from the latin word fleure, which means “to flow” or “to flux”, the mineral is used as a flux in iron smelting.  Flourite is pretty common and can be found in many places around the world, but is most commonly mined in the United States, South America, Britian, Tanzania, Argentina Australia, Germany, Norway, China, Peru, Mexico and Brazil. 

History

Flourite was used in carving during the ancient Chinese and Egyptian civilizations.  The Chinese used it for hundreds of years in carving and also used it as a protection stone against evil spirits.  They also used Green Flourite to make drinkware and it was often used to replace Jade.  The Egyptians used it in statues and to carve scarabs and pearls.  The ancient Romans thought that a fluorite goblet would prevent drunkenness.  In fact, many fluorite objects were found during the excavation of Pompeii.   

The first documented record of Flourite was in 1530 by German scientist, Georgius Agricola writing about the mineral’s usefulness as a flux.  In 1797, the naturalist Carlo Antonio Galeani Napione gave the mineral its name.  In 1852, Flourite loaned its name to the term fluorescence, because of the phenomenon’s occurrence in many varieties of the mineral.
