A LARGE plate of purple fluorite, from Weardale. It is very tough to get large plates of English fluorite of this size and richness today! And, these crystals are in superb condition - very few dings, and those pretty minor. The crystals measure to over 5 cm on edge! They have unusual white inclusions that look like clouds inside, and other parts are very gemmy. In places, there is a coating of microcrystals of what appears to be quartz and hematite. As with all English fluorites, this specimen is HIGHLY fluorescent! 15.3 x 14.6 x 4.8cm
