Fluorite
The Latin term "fluo," which means "to flow," is where the word was first used. Fluorite, hence, means to flow. The name was given due to the substance's natural tendency to melt quickly. This mineral is linked by the Chinese to the "yang" energy. It is distinctive in that it makes use of the qualities of other stones. It enhances the viability of other gems when utilized in conjunction with them. Additionally, it serves as a fluxing agent. It occurs most frequently in Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, with Mexico and China producing most of it. It is Illinois's crowning achievement. Fluorite has been extensively mined in this state since the early 19th century. However, no similar mining activity has been observed recently.
