The same is used in production of hydrofluoric acid, which is used in a wide variety of industrial applications including glass etching. Fluorite tends to occur in well-formed isometric crystals, forming cubes and octahedrons. It also occurs in both massive and earthy forms, and as crusts or globular aggregates with radial fibrous texture.

In addition to kerogen, general composition of oil shales constitutes inorganic substance and bitumens. Based on their deposition environment, oil shales are classified as marine, lacustrine and terrestrial oil shales.[1][2] Oil shales differ from oil-bearing shales, shale deposits that contain petroleum (tight oil) that is sometimes produced from drilled wells. Examples of oil-bearing shales are the Bakken Formation, Pierre Shale, Niobrara Formation, and Eagle Ford Formation.[3] Accordingly, shale oil produced from oil shale should not be confused with tight oil, which is also frequently called shale oil.[3][4][5]

It is named after the French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, who first described its properties in the late 18th century. Dolomite is often found in sedimentary rock formations and can occur in a variety of colors, ranging from white to gray, pink, green, or even brown.
