Frazer's Hush mine is one of the best known Fluorite occurrences in northern England, but was a 'relative' newcomer to the mineral producing scene in Weardale, with its iconic extremely gemmy, intense purple, twinned crystal-lined plates having been discovered during the 1980s. As with all the great Frazer's Hush Fluorite, the crystals on this specimen are naturally purple, but their colour intensifies to another level when placed in daylight - due to extremely strong daylight fluorescence. Individual crystals reach up to 1.2 cm on edge. This quite large display plate is completely covered in twinned Fluorite cubes with a prominent 'rib' rising up across the centre of the specimen. There is admittedly some damage to the Fluorite crystals but very few pristine specimens came out of this amazing discovery. With a hard, dark coloured limestone matrix this is a very robust piece and provides an impressive blast of colour. Ex Bill Creighton collection, no. WC.127.
