Fluorspar from Nigeria: crystals, metspar and acidspar
Nigeria’s fluorite is better known to crystal collectors than to steelmakers. A new deposit near Jalingo in Taraba State, found in 2022, produces fine gem-quality crystals, and fluorite also occurs on the Jos Plateau and in Benue State. Industrial volumes of high-grade fluorspar are limited, so check what a seller can really deliver before you plan around it.
