Fluorite (calcium fluoride).

Historically called fluorspar, fluorite has been used in carvings and Fluorite beads and decorative objects for hundreds of years, but the availability of Fluorite faceted pieces is a relatively new development. Not readily useable in jewelry due to its softness (its hardness ratio is 4), and possessing perfect cleavage in four directions, it is primarily a collector’s gem.

One of the most famous of all gem fluorite mines, located in Castleton, Derbyshire in the UK, and now, sadly, virtually exhausted, produced the famous “Blue John.” This banded, translucent, cream and blue-purple fluorite was extensively used throughout Europe over at least fifteen centuries to produce stunning vases, sculptures, and ornamental items. The very small production remaining today goes almost exclusively to custom jewelry.

Quite recently, a Fluorite deposit of colorful and durable, highly silicate, massive fluorite was discovered in Utah, and has been given a number of fanciful names: Picasso Stone and Bertandite, to name two. More properly called “opalised fluorite,” it makes attractive cabochon gems.
