Fluorite with Calcite$600.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
Heights mine in Weardale, County Durham, England, is internationally famous for its fabulous green Fluorite, yet other colours do occur. This small cabinet specimen features colourless to pale lemon cubic Fluorite crystals overgrown by Calcite. The Fluorite crystals measure up to 2 cm on edge and, when closely examined, contain delicate pale blue banding close to the prism faces. They vary from reasonably transparent to translucent, have a waxy to glassy lustre and feature nested linear surface growth patterns. The Calcite crystals are equally attractive, forming double terminated, pseudo-hexagonal prisms of translucent off-white. Under LWUV the Fluorite fluoresces deep to mid purple and the Calcite, ethereal pale apricot.\n
