A terrific specimen of Weardale fluorite from the find of 1991, with crystals of the top quality: highly-transparent, a gorgeous limpid green. There are a couple of contacts, but the crystals in the main cluster are in super condition. Crystals measure to 1.5 cm. Fine English fluorites in good shape have always been greatly valued by collectors. Highly fluorescent - you can see the purple glow some of the crystals are taking on under halogen in the photo - take these outside and they fluoresce beautifully in natural light!
