Calcite from UK, England, Rookhope, Frazer's Hush Mine

An attractive specimen from the renowned Frazer’s Hush Mine, featuring broad fluorite cubes extensively coated by a sparkling layer of fine calcite crystals. The underlying fluorite displays the classic cubic habit associated with Weardale mineralisation, with pale lilac tones visible around the margins.

The calcite forms a dense drusy coating across the specimen, creating a bright, glittering appearance that contrasts beautifully with the smoother crystal faces of the fluorite beneath.

The combination of lustrous drusy calcite and softly coloured fluorite creates a classic and highly aesthetic Northern Pennines association. A fine cabinet specimen showcasing the distinctive mineralogy of one of Weardale's best-known localities.
