Fluorite (GEM twin)

Item Description

A fine, sharp, GEM quality, interpenetrant twin (on a cube-diagonal twinning axis) - as often seen from this locality - with rich emerald green color. This form is what makes these specimens so desirable from the English lead mines at Weardale. These are modern classics and really beautiful Fluorites on a worldwide scale. Good color ranging from the gorgeous green hue indoors to the classic purple shade in sunlight (daylight fluorescence). The piece shows the classic bright purple UV fluorescence that is often seen in Rogerley Fluorites. The specimen is great shape on the display side, and it's a good sized twin from this prolific modern locality the English lead mines district.
