Where Fluorite Are Found in Quebec
Fluorite fills low-temperature veins and flat-lying beds in limestone, classically alongside galena and sphalerite. Old fluorspar-district dumps and limestone-hosted veins are the productive ground.
The richest reported sites in Quebec: Ashram (Eldor), Zone Triple D-1, Mine Villeneuve (W.A. Allan), Zone Beckling, MINE ARBIC.

How to Identify Fluorite
Fluorite forms glassy cubes in purple, green, yellow, or blue, and its octahedral cleavage is the tell: corners cleave off a cube cleanly, and broken pieces show triangular flat faces. Hardness 4 — a knife scratches it, which instantly separates it from quartz or amethyst. Many pieces fluoresce blue-violet under UV, the mineral that named the effect.
