The Latin name of Fluorite means - to flow. Fluorite is a gemstone that flows with layers of transparent to translucent to opaque layers of color. You have mostly shades of yellows, blues, greens and purples with some Fluorite stones with all the colors. On the Mohs' hardness scale, Fluorite is a 4. It requires a little higher care to prevent scratches.
I found a great website that has gemstone information on Fluorite and all other gemstones.
