Fluorite is a soft gemstone. It comes in various colors including green, blue, yellow, white and sometimes a raspberry color but it is best known as a purple gemstone. It is quite unique in the way it breaks along cleavage points into a perfect octahedron and for being sometimes banded with different colors.
