Fluorite ( フローライト, Furōraito) is the second of the Gems to be born.
Appearance[]
Fluorite is first shown in their original form, before they were shaped by Kongo. Their hair is shown to be long and their body has a crystalline structure. Because of the variety of colors fluorite can come in, it was unknown what type they were until it was mentioned that their color is purple during Party At The End.
In their Lunarian form, they are also shown with long hair. They are wearing a shirt with long sleeves and a high collar, as well as holding a handbag.
Personality[]
Fluorite had not been shown talking or interacting in any way other than during the moment of their discovery. At that time, they were found twitching on the ground next to Red Diamond and Kongo-sensei. It is known that them and Red Diamond were friends in the translated text in the party at the end
Story[]
Fluorite is the second Gem to be born. They were found by Kongo-sensei and Red Diamond on the Beach where all Gems are born. Due to their fragility, Kongo-sensei and Red Diamond carved a shelter out of a large piece of quartz, which currently stands as The School. Not much else is known about them.
They are restored along with the other Gems in Chapter 95 and turned into a Lunarian. Their Lunarian form is shown in The Party at the End and there color is revealed to be purple through Red Diamond’s Dialogue along with Emerald, and Aquamarine.
Gem Info[]
- Mineral: Halide
- Chemistry: CaF2
- Color: a wide range of colors.
Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride. It belongs to the halide minerals.
Fluorite is a colorful mineral in both visible and ultraviolet light, and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride for hydrofluoric acid manufacture, which is the intermediate source of most fluorine-containing fine chemicals.
Fluorite is allochromatic, meaning that it can be tinted with elemental impurities. Fluorite comes in a wide range of colors and has consequently been dubbed "the most colorful mineral in the world". Every color of the rainbow in various shades is represented by fluorite samples, along with white, black, and clear crystals. The most common colors are purple, blue, green, yellow, or colorless. Less common are pink, red, white, brown, and black. Color zoning or banding is commonly present. The color of the fluorite is determined by factors including impurities, exposure to radiation, and the absence or voids of the color centers.
The word fluorite is derived from the Latin verb fluere, meaning to flow.
Trivia[]
- They might be the "Pink-Fluorite" used by the Lunarians as a weapon against the Gems during Chapter 18.
