Fluorspar

Fluorspar, also known as fluorite, is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2). It is a colorful mineral that is typically found in shades of purple, blue, green, yellow, or colorless. It is the principal source of hydrogen fluoride, which is used in the production of a wide range of industrial products, including aluminum, gasoline, and uranium.

In Pakistan, fluorspar deposits are found in various regions, including the Katlang-Musakhel area of Balochistan province and the Hindukush range of the North-West Frontier Province. Fluorspar mining in Pakistan is done through open-pit and underground mining methods.

Fluorspar is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications such as in the production of hydrofluoric acid, aluminum, gasoline, uranium and steel. It is also used in the production of ceramics, enamels, and optics. Fluorspar is used as a flux in the smelting of metallic ores, and in the production of aluminum, gasoline, and uranium.

The mining of fluorspar in Pakistan is an important industry, as Pakistan is home to some of the world's high-quality fluorspar deposits. The demand for fluorspar is increasing day by day, especially.
