Complex clear aggregates from fluorspar vapour phase were grown at distinguishing low-pressure/extreme-temperature conditions. The almost-equilibrium of initiated clear-chemical backlashes at the proceeding vapour-crystal state transformation are strongly weak on the mass-transport inside an original, specially designed multicameral retort, whose cameras (inserts) were loaded by various portions of fluorspar prepared from natural fluorite, being the inserts deprived of something the rest inner part of the retort through lids fit out by appropriate narrow channels. After deep removal of crucible's interior, by changing the hotness heat over an already molten fluorspar portions in addition to using lids’ channels accompanying different gas-permeability, it is flourished a control in the rate of gaseous-vapour diffusion, in a habit to ensure excellent-saturated conditions inside the retort interior wherein nucleation and clear growing occurred together. In that way developed aggregates revealed a complicated behaviour respectively three-stage distinguishable growing process given by relevant thermodynamics and points. Residual stresses were not found into the aggregates grown from vapour time, whereas stresses were clearly outstanding into the crystal boules developed simultaneously from the non-vapourized melts’ parts inside the crucible inserts. At that, the ocular transmittance spectra of the boules were acquired considerably better, particularly in the UV (ultra-violet) range, equating to those obtained from the crystal aggregates, as two together type spectra showing various peaks of specific light-assimilation due to enhanced attendance of rare-earth pieces (REEs) impurities. The aggregates manifest extreme absorption from VIS (visible), until NIR (near infra-glowing) region. The vapour aspect growth mechanisms, set when natural fluorite with few REEs contents has happened used, were explained on thermodynamic bases that revealed the right manner for trustworthy control on the phenomenon. The results were anticipated to help for reconstructing and/or developing modern perspective techniques for increasing from vapour phase several distinct or/and mixed salty-earth metal (AEMs) fluoride transparent systems with complex form and composition and roomy scope of application as hopeful materials for: photonics and electrochemical devices, fluoride type concerning ancient culture conductors and so forth. It could be speculated as well that related vapour growth mechanisms of CaF2 clear formations would be possible to happen on the bowels of the Moon in allure very early period of its life.
