Fluorine is a naturally occurring element. However, because it is highly reactive it never occurs naturally as a pure element; it is only found in compounds such as fluorite. Elemental fluorine must be separated from its compounds by artificial means.
The fluoride chemicals that are added to water supplies are. They are waste products of the phosphate fertilizer industry, scrubbed from their smokestacks because it's illegal to spew fluoride into the atomosphere.

Fluorine occurs naturally in Fluorspar and Cryolite, but as with everything else, it can also be produced by a commercial process.

Fluorine is an element. Its atoms are made of basically 3 fundamental particles (as is an atom of every other element just with different proportions) called electrons, protons and neutrons. Fluorine itself is a pure substance and contains no other particles except Fluorine atoms.
Nope its natural

No, fluoride and fluorine are not the same. Fluorine is a chemical element, represented by the symbol F on the periodic table. Fluoride, on the other hand, is an ion or compound that contains fluorine, often formed when fluorine reacts with another element.
