Item Description

A superb classic Weardale (Stanhope) Fluorite specimen from the famous Frazer's Hush Mine featuring excellent quality, very sharp, incredibly well-formed, cubic crystals measuring up to 2.3 cm on edge associated with minor white Calcite on host rock matrix. The Fluorites are VERY GEMMY, virtually water clear in areas and show the famous fluorescence under UV light for which the material is known. It's interesting to note that while the color of the crystals is purple, they do show a bit of a pinkish hue when the piece is backlit under halogen lighting and in sunlight.  We've photographed the piece outdoors to help show this color change. A few of the crystals show the characteristic interpenetrating twin habit, very well-known from this area. An excellent display specimen of Frazer's Hush Fluorite. Valued at $1,500 in the inventory.
