AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fluorite is the mineral form of calcium fluoride and, throughout history, has been used by many peoples and cultures for the creation of artistic objects. Its impurities give it a wide variety of colors, a characteristic that, in medieval times, earned it the nickname stone flower. This mineral is famous for the effect known as fluorescence, from which it takes its name. Some of its varieties, in fact, glow under UV light.
