Fluorite (super fluorescence)

Item Description

An excellent, sculptural plate of classic, emerald-green GEMMY fluorites with preferential etching from the famous Rogerley Mine in England. The luster is excellent, fluorescence superb, and the plate is rich covered by many intergrown crystals. There are numerous pairs of interpenetrating twins, containing crystals ranging up to 1.5 cm on edge. In sunlight or even halogen lights, they exhibit day-glow fluorescence and shows purple and green at the same time. The fluorites are in outstanding condition, as they are all in the interior of the piece. Just a fine, aesthetic piece from modern operations here (collected in the last 10 years). These are gorgeous pieces, and I think extremely cheap for what you get in significance and color impact for an English fluorite. That will end (when the mine closes again) and prices go up. Valued $600-800.
