Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is an insoluble
ionic compound of
calcium and
fluorine. It occurs naturally as the mineral
fluorite (also called fluorspar), and it is the source of most of the world's fluorine. This insoluble solid adopts a cubic structure wherein calcium is coordinated to eight fluoride anions and each F- ion is surrounded by four Ca2+ ions. Although the pure material is colourless, the mineral is often deeply coloured due to the presence of
F-centers.
