Fluorite comes in shades of mainly purples, blues and greens and also clear, yellow, white, pink, red and black. Frequently, there is more than one color in a single stone. It is found (and often coated with) other crystals, such as calcite, quartz and pyrite. The largest crystal deposits have been found in the United States. England has a purple and yellow banded variety known as Blue John.

Some believe the name Fluorite is from the Latin "fluere," which means "to flow," because it melts easily. Others believe it was named because it was the first mineral to show fluorescent under certain lighting. According to folklore, Fluorite is the home of the rainbows. Since Roman times Blue John has been used for making vases and other ornamental objects.
