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.
