Introduction
The chemical composition of fluorite is calcium fluoride (CaF₂), and it belongs to the isometric crystal system. Its interior often simultaneously displays gradient color bands of purple, green, blue, and transparent. The formation of these colors is related to trace elements and the influence of natural radiation, giving each mineral a unique texture. It is also known as "rainbow fluorite" or "multicolored fluorite."

In ancient Europe, fluorite was carved into vessels and ornaments, and the Romans even called it "one of the most beautiful minerals." Because fluorite exhibits fluorescence under ultraviolet light, the word "fluorescence" itself originates from the name of fluorite. Its colorful hues symbolize balance, order, and wisdom, and therefore it has long been regarded as a stone representing inspiration and mental organization.
