	What is the difference between flourite red and the other flourite?
daviine Enthusiast Posts: 168 Kudos: 31 Registered: 28-Aug-2001	I've read posts stating that the red fluorite kicks up a lot of dust. What about the black looking one? I don't really know what color it is becasue I've only seen it online. I have seen the red fluorite in the local stores out here. [span class="edited"][Edited by daviine 2004-08-09 13:36][/span]

As it is the regular Flourite requires a great deal of rinsing. I would expect Flourite Red to be very similar. EDIT: fixed link [span class="edited"][Edited by EdgarFanCLS 2004-08-09 13:36][/span]

Each are actually fractionated (baked), iron rich, clay. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--
