Muzquiz purple Fluorite (Fluorspar)3D ModelNoAI
Locality: Mexico
Size: 3 cm x 3 cm x 2.5 cm
Formula: CaF2
Description: Muzquiz Fluorite is mostly cubic and often has many short and/or long protrusions that resemble a cityscape of buildings. The sample contains a cluster of cubic fluorite crystals in a complex cluster. Muzquiz Fluorite comes from the Muzquiz mine in Mexico known for its beautiful fluorite pieces.
Fluorite is a transparent to translucent, often blue or purple mineral, commonly found in crystalline cubes in veins and associated with lead, tin, and zinc ores; hardness is 4 on Mohs scale; the principal ore of fluorine. Also known as Derbyshire spar; fluor; fluorspar. Fluorite is the only common mineral with four directions of perfect cleavage.
