Fluorite
Found in 1987 by miners Peter and Robert Rutherford, this matrix fluorite specimen is highlighted by many, equant glassy and gemmy, penetration twins of light-purple fluorite. The glassy luster is extremely fine, as with may from this mine. The twins average 1.3 cm across and are aesthetically arranged over the length and breadth of the specimen. When backlit by a quartz halogen lamp, UV, or daylight,, the crystals are flushed with a rich, deep grape-juice-purple fluorescence. Nearly perfect and mesmerizing, this large specimen is sparkly and glassy like a jewel. HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH - better in person!
