Fluorine in Nature Does the aggressive gas F 2 exist in nature? In their Communication on page 18388 ff., J. Schmedt auf der Günne et al. discover that the answer to this question is yes. The mineral villaumite is the second example of a fluoride‐based salt that presents a stable enclosure. The F 2 gas is produced by radiation damage in different amounts. Its presence was shown, and its pressure was estimated by 19 F NMR spectroscopy.
