Crystal Structure of Fluorite
Crystal Structure of Fluorite. Calcium fluoride occurs naturally as the mineral fluorite. The ionic radius of the calcium ion is 1.26 Å and that of the fluoride ion is 1.17 Å. In this case the cation is the larger ion, and the ratio of radii for the anion and cation is r-/r + = 1.17/1.26 = 0.929.
