Fluorite (twin)

Item Description

A fine, sharp, VERY gemmy, RICH green color, interpenetrant twin on a cube-diagonal twinning axis (as often seen from this locality). A slight amount of purple color can be seen near the center of the piece. This form is what makes these specimens so desirable from the English lead mines at Weardale. Great color saturation for the size. The piece shows the classic purple fluorescence that is often seen in Rogerley Fluorites.
