  ABSTRACT: Fluorite deposits occur in a variety of geologic environments throughout the globe. It may occur as the main or only economically recoverable ore mineral in deposits or may present as the accessory gangue minerals with other ores. It is therefore necessary to understand various genetic types of the fluorite deposit. The present paper synthesises the information of some of the known fluorite mineralisation from the world so that an understanding of them can help in establishing reliable criteria for further search of fluorite deposit. On the basis of a combination of geological background information and fluorite geochemistry, a new classification scheme is proposed.
