An old-timer out of the Elling Collection - an old English fluorite, with lavender crystals to 1.5 cm across the edge, gemmy with white "clouds" inside. This is actually a STALACTITE with crystals all around it - if you look at the underside where it was removed, you can see the concentric rings. English fluorites are of course quite desirable, but the fact that this one is stalactitic makes it really special. HIGHLY FLUORESCENT.
