History
Fluorite crystals formed 150–200 million years ago when hot water containing fluorine and other minerals was forced up through cracks in the earth where it interacted with the calcium-rich limestone bedrock. Crystals formed along cracks and in other open spaces in the rock. Fluorite was first described in 1530 and was originally referred to as 'fluorspar'. The mineral was strongly noted for its effectiveness as a flux for aluminum and steel processing. Today, the term 'fluorspar' is primarily used for the industrial and chemical form of fluorite, while 'fluorite' is the term used in reference to the gem and mineral. In 1852, the phenomenon of 'fluorescence' was named after fluorite, since it was one of the first fluorescent minerals studied. The element fluorine was also named after fluorite. Fluorine is an essential element in the chemical ion of fluoride.

Geography
Fluorite mining got its start in Illinois in 1842. Mines there shut down in the 1950s due to the high cost of mining and the increasing competition from overseas mines. Today, fluorite is found worldwide in China, South Africa, Mongolia, France, Russia, and the central North America. Here, noteworthy deposits occur in Mexico, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Colorado in the United States
