The crystal shapes on this mineral are cubic or octahedral. Fluorite is well-known for the fluorescence, or light it gives off when it is beneath an ultra-violet light. It can be found in cavities and hydrothermal veins. This particular piece of Fluorite was found in Illinois and is displayed in the Hutching's Museum.
