That is soft enough to be scratched by ordinary household dust, which is mostly quartz at 7. Fluorite also has perfect cleavage in four directions, so a knock on a hard edge can take a chip off a bead rather than scuff it. This is an occasional-wear bracelet, not a daily one, and it wants storing away from your harder pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFluorite (calcium fluoride, CaF₂)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal system:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCubic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNot recorded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e4 on the Mohs scale; soft, and the softest in this range.
