FLUORITE, PYRITE, QUARTZ
$429.00 AUD
Fluorite, known as fluorspar, is the mineral variant of calcium fluoride, represented by the formula CaF2. This mineral is classified within the halide group and typically forms in an isometric cubic structure, though octahedral and other intricate isometric shapes can also be found. According to the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, fluorite is assigned a hardness value of 4, determined through scratch resistance comparisons.
Pyrite, commonly referred to as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2, also known as iron (II) disulfide. It is the most prevalent sulfide mineral found in nature.
