Fluorite
specimen number:
8831020
location:
Weardale, Co. Durham, England, UK
description: Neat cluster of light purple translucent barite crystals to 2.3 cm on edge, the bottom as seen in the video a very sharp casts after a previous cubic fluorite crystal. Slight chipping present as seen. Previous label, as seen at the end of the video, gives a different locality. I am told that casting like this one never occurred at that locality, plus this piece is fluorescent and specimens from the locality given on the old label do not fluoresce.
Size: 7.0 x 6.0 x 4.0 cm (small-cabinet)
