Abstract

At a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale, with an easily developed octahedral cleavage, fluorite is not ideal for daily worn jewelry, but it can make for very fine pieces worn on special occasions. Fluorites displayed in their original gem case from the Dr. Edward J. Gubelin collection. [Extracted from the article]
