• Coordinates: roughly 28.6667° N, 118.9333° E. Mindat+1
• It lies within a region with a humid subtropical climate (Cfa in Köppen classification). Mindat

🪨 Mineral Resources & What’s Mined

• The primary product of Hushan Mine is fluorite (also known as fluorspar, chemical formula CaF₂). Mindat+2Fluorspar Price+2
• According to more recent sources (2025), the mine has estimated reserves of approximately 4.5 million tonnes of ore, with ore grading about 50% fluorite. Fluorspar Price+2Wikipedia+2
• In mineral‑specimen catalogs, fluorite from Hushan Mine is documented and sometimes offered as collector specimens. minfind.com+1

🧪 Geological Context & Deposit Type

• The deposit belongs to a group of fluorite deposits in Zhejiang Province tied to regional tectonics — part of what geologists refer to as the “Wuyi–Yunkai–Taiwan orogenic system.” ScienceDirect+2fluorspar.com+2
• Fluorite at Hushan (and in similar Zhejiang deposits) likely formed through hydrothermal processes — typical of high‑fluorine, hydrothermal‑derived fluorite deposits associated with magmatic activity and fluid circulation. ScienceDirect+2chinaminingmagazine.com+2

📈 Significance of the Mine

• Hushan Mine is considered among the larger fluorite‑ore deposits in China, thanks to its combination of substantial reserves and high ore grade (~50 % CaF₂). Wikipedia+2Fluorspar Price+2
• Fluorite (fluorspar) is a critical raw material — used in metallurgy, chemical industry (especially in production of hydrofluoric acid), ceramics, and more. That makes Hushan strategically relevant for supply of industrial fluorite. chinaminingmagazine.com+2fluorspar.com+2
• In broader geological terms, deposits like Hushan help scientists understand the genesis and distribution of fluorite in Southeast China — particularly how tectonics, magmatism, and hydrothermal processes combined to create large‑scale fluorite mineralization. ScienceDirect+1
