But James, you went on to support the idea in what you said that Flourite

PLEASE ....

Fluorite is NOT clay. It may have been once but it isn't clay anymore.
A clay is a soft thin platy mineral. If it is hard it's been altered and is
something else.

Fluorite looks like clay that has been altered either by fire or
mineralization.

Despite having more luck with it than other substrates ...
I must admit personally as a geologist I find the name it's self
objectionable.

fluorite is calcium fluoride a mineral.

Fluorite is a mineral, but flourite is an aquarium substrate. :)
