Fluorite - UK
Location: Frosterley, Weardale, North Pennines, Co. Durham, England, UK
This piece looks amazing under long wave UV light and fluoresces an eerie white. The fluorite crystals are also as large a 1 inch cubes. It has been cut on the base and sides to prevent damage to the Fluorite crystals. It also means that you can easily stand it up vertically or can display it horizontally.
The pieces of Fluorite from this mine are highly fluorescent and the best thing is that they fluoresce with Long Wave (LW) which is what most collectors have. (90% of fluorescent minerals fluoresce are Short W ave (SW) but SW costs a lot more than LW.)
Photos 1,2 and 3 are Long Wave.
