Does fluorite have cleavage?
Yes; Fluorite has cleavage; it breaks along flat surfaces in three directions.
What minerals would scratch fluorite - talc quartz or calcite?
Fluorite with a Mohs hardness of 4 would be scratched by quartz (with a hardness of 7). Both calcite (Mohs hardness 3) and talc (Mohs hardness 1) are softer than fluorite.
What Is the Mineral composition of Fluorite?
Have no idea help me
What is fluorites form?
Fluorite forms cubic crystals.
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
Is fluorite a mineral?
Fluorite is a mineral.
What is fluorite made of?
it is made out of fluorite

How do you use fluorite in a sentence?
Fluorite is a mineral consisting of cubic crystals of calcium fluorite.
What is the common name for fluorite?
CaF2 Calcium fluorite. Fluorspar possibly.
Is fluorite a compound or element?
Fluorite is a compound, CaF2.
What forms fluorite?
Fluorite forms cubic crystals.
What would happen if you scratched a piece of fluorite against a piece of feldspar?
Fluorite is harder than feldspar, so scratching fluorite against feldspar would cause the fluorite to scratch the feldspar. This means the fluorite would leave a mark on the feldspar, showing that fluorite is harder than feldspar.
Is fluorite harder than calcite?
Yes, fluorite is harder than calcite. Fluorite has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale, while calcite has a hardness of 3. This means that fluorite can scratch calcite, but calcite cannot scratch fluorite.
Does fluorite contain silicon?
No. Fluorite contains calcium and fluorine.
Is fluorite mined?
Fluorite can be mined in Weardale, New England.
Is fluorite water soluble?
No, fluorite is not water soluble. It is a mineral that is typically insoluble in water.
