Fluorite
An old, big, and impressive Cumberland combo specimen, featuring transparent, honey-colored fluorites to 2.2 cm and well-formed tan calcites, on a bed of sphalerite, with some galenas thrown in for accent. Old English specimens such as this are not easy to come by. Ex. Dan Ehrling Collection to Robert Faber collection and back again to me 4 years later. NOTE THAT YELLOW FLUORITE from any locale in UK other than the Hilton mine is quite rare. This one has the sphalerite characteristic of Nenthead area, though the color IS comparable to that of a good Hilton Mine piece! MUCH BETTER In PERSON. 14.5 x 11 x 4.5 cm
