Fluorite forms cubic crystals.
Fluorite forms cubic crystals.

Fluorite is not that rare but the purer forms referred to as "acid grade" are and most comes from China. It is required for manufacturing of fluorinated products such as PTFE
Fluorite is an extrusive rock, meaning it forms from the solidification of magma on the Earth's surface. It typically occurs in volcanic environments and is associated with lava flows and volcanic rocks.
Fluorite is a mineral.
Yes, fluorite is commonly found underground in veins associated with hydrothermal deposits. It forms as a result of the interaction of hot fluids with limestone and other rocks. Fluorite is also found in cavities in igneous rocks and as a byproduct of some mining operations.
The crystal form of fluorite is typically cubic, but it can also occur in other forms such as octahedral, dodecahedral, or combinations of these shapes. It often displays vibrant colors due to impurities in the crystal lattice.

Fluorite is a mineral consisting of cubic crystals of calcium fluorite.
Fluorite is a commonly found mineral that forms from hydrothermal processes and is often associated with rocks of various origins, including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. While it can be found in metamorphic environments, fluorite itself is not considered a metamorphic rock.
From a mineralogical perspective, fluorite is an evaporite mineral that contains one calcium ion and two fluorine ions. Calcium may also be substituted partially accounting for different colours of the mineral but it is usually purple.
