Colourless Fluorite

Q: What is Colourless Fluorite made of?

Colourless Fluorite has the chemical formula CaF₂, crystallises in the isometric (cubic) system and measures 4 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Colourless fluorite is the near-pure form of calcium fluoride, CaF₂, in which the colour centres and rare-earth substitutions that tint purple, green, blue and yellow fluorites are effectively absent. Its very low refractive index and exceptionally low dispersion make optical-grade colourless fluorite valuable for apochromatic camera and microscope lenses.

I. The Metaphysical Reading

How the stone has been held.

Colourless fluorite is worked with as a stone of ordered thinking, kept on the desk during study, planning and any practice that asks the mind to arrange itself. Practitioners hold it as a stone that steadies discernment without pushing a particular outcome.

II. The Scientific Reading

What the lattice actually does.

Colourless fluorite is the near-pure form of calcium fluoride, CaF₂, in which the colour centres and rare-earth substitutions that tint purple, green, blue and yellow fluorites are effectively absent. Its very low refractive index and exceptionally low dispersion make optical-grade colourless fluorite valuable for apochromatic camera and microscope lenses.
