Fluorite is a natural crystalline that is transparent to transluscent, glassy mineral. When pure, fluorite is colorless; however, it usually contains impurities that color it. These impurities produce the most stricking bouquet of billant colors. The range of common colors for fluorite start from the hallmark color purple, then blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black and reddish orange. Flourite has earned the reputation as the most colorful mineral in the world. Two of its most interesting properties are flourescent and thermoluminescence. The flourescent property makes flourite fluoresces under UV light producing a kaliedescope of different colors. The second property, thermoluminescence means the ability to glow when heated, although this is a rare phenomenon.
