Item Description

A gorgeous and aesthetic cluster of gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green, penetration-twinned, fluorite cubes from the famous Rogerley Mine. The large cube is 2.5 cm and they all glow with rich purple fluorescence under any light! This cutie is contacted on the back and base, but displays beautifully. Dating to the 1970s, this very fine piece was formerly in the Mick Sutcliffe Collection and was handled by Lindsey Greenbank, both premier collectors of English minerals.
