Schorl (Black Tourmaline) with Green Fluorite Staknala, Nagar Valley, Skardu District, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. This is one good example of a combination piece from the famous locality called Staknala, Nagar, Pakistan, which produced some killer pieces of the same species in a combination of multi-minerals. This particular piece consists of Black tourmaline exhibiting sharp parallel striations in combination with gem green fluorite and white snowy cleavelandite perched on top of the specimen. Tourmaline is perfectly flat terminated with gem lustrous green fluorite, creating an amazing contrast of multi-colors with white cleavelandite.

The word Fluorite derives from the Latin "fluo" meaning "to flow" because the mineral is used as a flux in iron smelting. Fluorites from certain localities exhibit very strong fluorescence, due to impurities in the crystal. In 1852 this phenomenon of fluorescence was named after fluorite. Fluorite has a broad spectrum of colors, which depends on impurities, radiation exposure, and the size of the color centers. The color distribution is often zonal or spotty.
Fluorite can be used in jewelry sometimes, cut into beads. But because of its low hardness, it is not widely used as a semiprecious stone. It is found in many parts of the world, including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Pakistan, England, Norway, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.
