Abstract: Abstract: Based on the classification of fluorite deposits, this paper divides the metallogenic units of fluorite deposits, and briefly describes ore-forming features of every unit according to the geotectonic background, distribution features, ore-forming conditions and ore-controlling factors. In addition, the metallogenic regularities of fluorite deposits in China are summarized. Fluorite deposits are mainly distributed in northern and southeastern China. The faulted fractures constitute the common and essential ore-forming factor. The deposition-reformation type fluorite deposits are genetically related to limestone and volcanic rocks. The most intrusive rocks related to the formation of fluorite deposits belong to Yanshanian period. Most deposition-reformation, hydrothermal-reformation, associated, large and gigantic fluorite deposits are genetically related to limestone. The deposits with three ore-forming elements of limestone, Yanshanian intrusive rocks and faulted fractures are generally large or gigantic fluorite deposits. Fluorite deposits in China were mainly formed in Yanshanian period.
