Fluorite

Blackdene Mine, Ireshopeburn, Weardale, North Pennines, Co. Durham, England

6.5cm x 4.9cm x 5.03cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A classic example of purple fluorite from the Blackdene Mine in England!!! This specimen consists of a showy cluster of purple fluorite crystals in association with a small amount of galena and quartz!!! The fluorite crystals are razor-sharp with brilliant glassy luster and clarity that ranges from translucent to flawless gem!!! The crystals have sharp cubic form, with some of the smaller crystals exhibiting the characteristic interpenetrant twins common to the region!!! This specimen displays fantastically form several angles and is almost like a broad stalactite in essense!!! The core of the specimen consists of greenish fluorite and the specimen stands on a "base" that consists of a much larger partial fluorite crystal!!! This specimen is in superb condition with pristine, undamaged crystals all around!!! This specimen is intensely fluorescent and even exhibits "daylight fluorescence" in much the same way Rogerley fluorite does!!! There are pictures that capture its UV fluorescence as well as simulated daylight fluorescence!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
