Thumbnail. A fine, green fluorite thumbnail of classicly styled, interpenetrating twins from the Heights Mine in Weardale. The crystals are highly lustrous, nearly transparent and are essentially pristine. This piece has the gorgeous green and any light on it turns the piece partially purple with natural fluorescence. Classic, old-time material from this renowned locale. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection. Excellent purple fluorescence.
