SPECTACULAR PIECE OF FLUORITE WITH CRYSTALS OF CALCITE AND DOLOMITE. ON THE TOP AND SIDE CRYSTALS OF CALCITE WITH VERY GOOD CRYSTALIZATION AND ON THE SIDES ALSO DOLOMITE CRYSTALS. VERY GOOD QUALITY CALCITE CRYSTAL EXCLUSIVE PIECE FOR COLLECTORS AND VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR ITS COLOR AND FOR THE FORMATION OF ITS CRYSTALS.
Fluorite is a group III mineral (halides) that according to the Strunz classification, formed the elements calcium and fluorine.
Its structure belongs to the cubic system, and it appears with a cubic, octahedral, and rhombododecahedral habit.
Fluorite has physical thermoluminescence and fluorescence properties.
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 mineral much appreciated by museums and private collectors.
