what type of rock is fluorite
Description: Fluorite often forms coarse cleavable masses or cubic crystals. It can take on a range of attractive colors, most often purple. Fluorite occurs in all types of hydrothermal deposits. It also forms as an accessory in igneous rocks, especially syenites and granite pegmatites. In Wisconsin, most fluorite localities are in the Wausau area, associated with the Wausau and Stettin plutons.
