1 (The text is taken from: Basic Solid State Chemistry, by Anthony R. West) Some important structure types a) Rock salt (NaCl), zinc blende or sphalerite (ZnS), fluorite (CaF2), antifluorite (Na2O) These structures are considered together because they all have ccp/fcc anions and differ only in the positions of the cations.

Still fused to its parent rock, these crystals have been left in their natural form, so yes, that beautiful green color is all natural. The fun thing about quartz is that it is so common, grows in so many places, is softer compared to many other minerals, and can grow alongside so many other types of crystals.

Fluorite (fluorspar), sphalerite (zinc ore), and galena (lead ore) were mined from major mineral deposits in heavily faulted Mississippian rocks in Hardin and Pope Counties, southernmost Illinois, from the early 1800s until the last mine closed in 1995.

The fluorite was primarily found in two types of occurrences: fissurevein deposits in the Rosiclare district, and stratiform (bedding plane) deposits in the Cave in Rock district. Width of these fissurevein deposits varied from a few feet to 30 feet or more, with depth in some mines reaching almost 1000 feet.

Fluorite is deposited in veins by hydrothermal processes. In these rocks it often occurs as a gangue mineral associated with metallic ores. Fluorite is also found in the fractures and cavities of some limestones and dolomites. It is a very common rockforming mineral found in many parts of the world.

Fluorite is considered to be one of most popular minerals in the world among gem and mineral collectors, second only to quartz. It is often referred to as 'the most colorful mineral in the world' owing to its variety of brilliant colors. Fluorite was first described in 1530 and was originally referred to as 'fluorspar'.
