Fluorite is a translucent or transparent mineral that has a glassy luster and belongs to the fluoride subclass. The mineral got its name from the Latin word "fluor", which means "flow". Fluorite also has other names: South African emerald, false emerald, Transvaal emerald, and fluorite or fluorspar. It was first mentioned by the German scientist G. Agricola in the middle of the 16th century. In his description, fluorite was called "ore flower".
There are legends about the color of fluorite, as it is the only stone that has such a range of colors. Such diversity is due to impurities in the mineral, as well as defects in the structure of the crystal lattice. In addition, the color of fluorite can change depending on the temperature and strength of radioactive exposure. Interestingly, the mineral has the ability to glow in the dark when heated, as well as when irradiated with even minor doses of radiation.
