Fluorite is considered to be one of most popular minerals in the world among gem and mineral collectors, second only to quartz. It is often referred to as 'the most colorful mineral in the world' owing to its variety of brilliant colors.
In 1852, the phenomenon of 'fluorescence' was named after fluorite, since it was one of the first fluorescent minerals studied.
Fluorescent colors of fluorite are extremely variable, but the typical color is blue; other fluorescent colors include yellow, green, red, white and purple.
Fluorite deposits are found in many locations around the world. Some of the most significant finds are located in Argentina, Austria, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar (Burma), Afghanistan, Namibia, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.
These Fluorite beads were mined in Afghanistan
