Item Description

A classic specimen of beautiful golden Fluorite from the famous Hilton Mine in Cumbria. Sharp, very well-formed, fine quality, gemmy, cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 2.1 cm on edge sit on matrix. As I rotate the piece, I can't find any serious damage, a few tiny nicks, and obviously the based is contacted where it was removed from the pocket wall. The piece displays well from several angles and really looks nice in all kinds of lighting, including halogen or sunlight. Classic material from this famous Fluorite specimen producer that was abandoned in 1963. Valued at $1500.
