Hilton mine, situated in what is known as 'the Escarpment' on the western edge of the North Pennines in northern England is one of the most famous mines for amber-coloured Fluorite crystals. Known for over a century, these crystals tend to form as either individual 'twins' or larger beds of intergrown crystals - the latter often displaying internal frosting to the crystals. This superb miniature specimen features a small bed of immaculate sharp cubic crystals with intense amber gemmy corners and frosted centres, all sat upon a small piece of rock matrix. A really very fine smaller bed of crystals from Hilton mine.
