The streak is white in all cases. It has a vitreous luster, with hardness slightly less than that of a knife blade. Under ultraviolet light, it shows rose-red and green fluorescence; however, the green interference causes it to appear purplish. The fluorite is medium- to coarse-grained allotriomorphic granular, with grain sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1 cm, and the aggregates are massive, with band widths of 1–2 cm. Quartz veinlets, about 2 mm wide, are visible in the ore, cutting across the fluorite bands. Apart from these quartz veinlets, the ore contains no other impurities, and the fluorite content exceeds 95%.

It has a vitreous luster, is transparent to translucent, with hardness slightly less than that of a knife and a white streak. The fluorite occurs as medium- to fine-grained euhedral to subhedral crystals, forming massive aggregates. The massive fluorite forms a framework, within which vugs are developed; coarser fluorite druses are grown on the walls of the vugs, indicating a near-surface weathering environment. The vugs in the ore are filled with yellow soil and yellow kaolinitic ferruginous–argillaceous material.

It occurs as subhedral to anhedral medium-fine crystals, forming massive, crustiform, and colloform aggregates. The fluorite content is about 20%. As cement, the fluorite grows around the siliceous clasts, exhibiting leathery and concentric ring textures, with crystals radiating in bundle-like forms from the clast cores. Some inter-clast pores are completely filled with fluorite, forming massive aggregates, while others are incompletely filled, resulting in vuggy structures, with euhedral fluorite druses growing within the vugs. This ore was formed by tectonic brecciation of pre-existing siliceous rocks, followed by condensation, precipitation, and cementation by calcium fluoride-rich hydrothermal solutions, resulting in the brecciated ore.
