Is there another mineral that can be used if fluorite runs out?

Probably not. Fluoride works for very specific reasons that are unique to the number of protons and electrons it has(that number is what makes fluoride, fluoride). So it's unlikely that anything else could substitute.

What type of rock is flourite?
Fluorite is a mineral that typically occurs as a cubic crystal. It is used in metallurgy and is the principal source of fluorine.
What kind of rock is fluorite found in?
Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, and Canada.
What is Fluorite Or what is Fluorite used for?

What do humans use fluorite for?
Fluorite is used in hydrofluoric acid and in it is used in the manufacture of opal enamel, cooking utensils and opal glass. It is also used as a flux to lower melting point of raw materials in steel. Fluorite can be used instead of glass in high performance telescopes and camera lens. Yes but its also used for ornaments, jewelery, cooking utensil's, and used as flux in steel.

What three things are mined in Illinois?
Fluorite (mostly abandoned), quartz (sandstone), calcite (limestone), clay minerals, and galena (also mostly abandoned). Mineral mining is not what it used to be in Illinois. Fluorite mines which once flourished in southern Illinois are now closed due to overseas competition. Galena was once mined in northern Illinois, but no longer.
Does fluorite look like a rock?
fluorite (fluorspar) Mineral, calcium fluoride (CaF2). It has cubic system crystals with granular and fibrous masses. Brittle and glassy, it can be yellow, purple or green. It is used as a flux in steel production and in ceramics and chemical industries. Hardness 4; r.d. 3.1.And it is a meteorite
What are some examples of what flourite is used for?
Flourite or Flourspar is a mineral. It is used in the production of certain glasses and enamels. It can be used for lapidary, or making the mineral into decorative items. It is usually drilled into beads for use in jewelry. Synthetically-grown fluorite is used in telescope and camera lenses.
Is fluorite important?

What fluorite be used for?
Jewlery is one.
What is the formula for Ferrous fluorite?
Fluorite, as an ion, would be chemically similar to chlorite, which is ClO2, or bromite, which is BrO2. However, I am having trouble finding actual compounds with ions containing fluorine and 2 or more oxygen atoms. The -ide suffix is used for binary (2-element) compounds. There is also a mineral called fluorite. Its composition is CaF2. If ferrous fluorite exists its formula would be Fe(FO2)2. No such compound is listed in my CRC handbook, but it's an old edition. ------------------------------ FeF2 would be called iron (II) or ferrous fluoride (and not ferrous fluorite).
