Fluorite (also known as Fluor-spar) is a colourful mineral composed of calcium fluoride. As well as ornamental uses, Fluorite is used in the making of hydrofluoric acid, as a flux in the manufacture of steel, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. The name Fluorite is derived from the Latin ‘fluo’ meaning flow, in reference to its use as a flux. Fluorite is a beautiful mineral, both in visible and ultraviolet light.

Chris D –
I ordered the Trayed / Groups on Matrix sample. I must express self-dissapointment, not on the part of UKGE, but myself, as the samples are not necessarily as photographed. The sample did contain a lot of cubes on host rock, however these are small, and the surface ratio of cubes to rock was approximately 20-35%. The sample was of the state size range, and the cubes will gently fluoresce under long wave UV, and to be clear I **do not regret** my purchase! However, I would offer, a suggestion for UKGE for trayed/loose items on the website, to offer a range of photos of different samples to present buyers with an visually more information. This could avoid buyers thinking that only the “best” sample has been photographed.
