MATERIAL ANALYTICS IN THE AREA
Fluorspar
Naturally occurring calcium fluoride (CaF₂) is also known as fluorspar. It is mined both in open-pit and underground operations and often occurs alongside other minerals such as barite (barium sulfate), galena (lead sulfide), or quartz.
In industry, calcium fluoride is often referred to as "metallurgical grade fluorspar" and is used as a flux in slags in metallurgical processes.

Fluorspar, also known as fluorite, consists mainly of CaF2. This mineral is mainly used in industry for metallurgy and as a raw material for the production of fluorine and fluorine compounds.
Calcium fluoride is a chemical compound consisting of calcium and fluorine and is present as CaF2. The mineralogical name for calcium fluoride is fluorite. It is poorly soluble in water and alcohol.
Calcium fluoride is used as a flux in metallurgy and as a raw material for the production of fluorine and fluorine compounds. It is also used in glass and ceramics manufacturing, e.g. as a opacifier for frosted glass, in the electrical industry and in dentistry, where it serves as protection against acid.
