Fluorite

Fluorite is a mineral with a veritable bouquet of brilliant colors that range from purple, blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black to reddish orange. Fluorite deserves the title “The Most Colorful Mineral in the World” by all means.

Fluorite glows when heated and fluoresces under ultraviolet light. Fluorite, with a hardness rating of 4 on Moh’s scale, is a soft stone that should only be used for pendants, brooches or earrings. The origin of the word fluorite comes from the Latin verb to flow.
