Fluorite can be found in many places, but the main areas where Fluorite is found is in China, Mexico, and Western Europe. About 4 million tons of Fluorite are produced annually. Mostly, Fluorite can be found in rocks, coal and clay. Fluorite is the 13th most abundant element in the earth’s crust. Some soils can approximately 330 ppm of Fluorine. There are about 0.6 ppb of Fluorine present in the atmosphere. | Fluorite can be found in many places, but the main areas where Fluorite is found is in China, Mexico, and Western Europe.
