Draw the below images of flourite in your Rocks & Minerals journal. Color the first image any color of the rainbow and it will be a true flourite color.

Below are some foldable models you can try to print out, cut and glue together representing the different crystal systems of our E - H mineral study. Some may be too difficult (like #2).
The following numbers correspond to the foldables below:
#1. E - Epidote - Monoclinic prismatic crystal system
#2. F - Flourite and H - Halite - Isometric Hexoctahedral Class or cubic
#3. G - Goethite - Orthorhomic dipyramidal
The models can represent idealized crystal types we've studied. To get the below foldables, click on the far right icon, which will open the file in a different tab. Click Save as to your computer and it should download to your desktop. If you try any of the foldables, be sure to label the crystals with their crystal type using the information given per number.
