A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME, early 1800s, CABINET fluorite plate from the famous Heights Mine of England. This fine piece features lustrous, glassy, interpenetrating fluorite cubes to 2.1 cm on limestone matrix. Typically, for Heights fluorites, the green cubes turn purple (natural fluorescence) in nearly all lighting conditions. Color change in outdoor, natural sunlight is particularly striking, as you can see. The fluorites really are green! SUPER fluorescence. Ex. George Elling Collection.
