Cryolite occurs in syenite vein deposits (igneous rock which is quartz deficient) which had abundant amounts of fluorine. There are 13 other known mineral specimens that contain primarily: Na, Al, F. Cryolite is the most common mineral, due entirely to the Ivigtut deposit.

2017年5月16日 · Cryolite was once present as a large deposit in Greenland, where it was mined as an aluminum ore and later for a flux in the electrowinning of aluminum from refined oxide ores. In 1987 this source became too depleted for commercial mining to continue, and while the mineral still technically exists in Greenland and elsewhere it is now considered ...
