Fluorspar
Fluorspar. Fluorspar, also known as fluorite, is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2). It is a common mineral found in various geological environments, and is often associated with other minerals such as quartz, calcite, and barite. Fluorspar has a variety of industrial uses due to its unique physical and chemical properties.
Production History
The use of fluorspar to facilitate steel production during World War II drove the price of met spar to $23.83 per ton and that of acid grade used in the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid and other fluorochemicals to $28.86 (Davis 1943). In 1964, the average price of fluorspar in the IKFD had increased to $50.62 per ton (Biggs 1966).
