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).
