Does the density of a mineral depend on the size of the mineral sample?
No, to tell how hard a mineral is you either have to test it or determine what mineral it is. Testing uses materials of known hardness such as a fingernail, or copper penny, or scratch plate, if the mineral is scratched by whatever you use to test it is softer. Hardness however is not based on size it will be the same for any sample of the same rock no matter what the size because its based on atomic arrangement and bond type.

How many neutrons are in fluorite?
Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is a halide mineral composed of calcium fluoride, CaF2.The number of neutrons depends on how much mineral you have.One molecule of CaF2 has one calcium atom with either 20, 22, 23, 24, 26 or 28 neutrons and two Fluorine atoms each of which has 10 neutrons.So at least 30 neutrons in one molecule.Each 30 grams of fluorite has an Avogadro number of molecules (6.02214 × 1023). so 100 grams of fluorite has about 6 * 1026 neutrons
