Where Is Fluorine Found

Fluorite is only one of the places fluorine is found. Fluorine is too reactive to be found in it's elemental form; so reactive, in fact, that it can react with a few of the Nobel gases. Cryolite and fluoropatite are also sources of fluorine.

Being very reactive, fluorine gas is not found in nature.
It is usually generated from fluorspar (CaF2), which is mined in several of our Western states... usually as a by-product of mining metals such as lead, with which it is closely associated.

Another fluorine-bearing mineral is cryolite, which is sodium aluminium fluoride, found in Greenland among other places.

Like in your medicine cabinet or where ever you keep your toothpaste.
