Rainbow Fluorite is a captivating variety of the mineral fluorite, scientifically known as calcium fluoride (CaF2). This mineral is renowned for its stunning array of colors, which can include shades of purple, blue, green, and sometimes yellow. The unique coloration arises from various impurities present during its formation. Rainbow fluorite is not only appreciated for its aesthetic appeal but also for its diverse applications in both industrial and metaphysical contexts.

Geological Properties

Fluorite crystallizes in the cubic system and typically forms octahedral or cubic crystals. It exhibits distinct optical properties that allow light to refract through it, creating a mesmerizing display of colors. The hardness of rainbow fluorite on the Mohs scale ranges from 4 to 4.5, making it relatively soft compared to other gemstones. This softness necessitates careful handling to avoid scratches and damage.

Rainbow fluorite is primarily found in regions such as China, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. The most notable deposits are located in China, where high-quality specimens are mined. While rainbow fluorite itself is not considered rare, exceptional specimens with vibrant colors can be challenging to find.
