It was first described in 1530 by Georgius Agricola, and its name comes from the Latin fluere, meaning “to flow.” It is the chief source of fluoride used in toothpaste and other products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFujian is a province on the southeast coast of mainland China, and it is especially relevant to collectors for its diverse mineral localities, including the Zijinshan ore field in Longyan and pegmatite districts in Nanping. The province has produced important specimens from gold-copper, pegmatite, and granite-related occurrences, alongside well-known stone material such as Shoushan stone from the Fuzhou area. Its mineral districts remain significant today because Fujian continues to host active and historically important sites that have yielded collectible mineral specimens and ornamental material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49463483891867,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/3012\/6217\/files\/29b59c8b-d0ce-450e-a3a3-5dbbda88e298.jpg?v=1788728664","url":"https:\/\/www.overtonfamilyjewels.com\/products\/auction-win-9865835f-c594-4508-8126-0272515cba9d","provider":"OFJ's Crystal Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
