Fluorite on Siderite Matrix | UK

You will receive the piece pictured.

A nice British specimen featuring translucent, smoky lavender-purple cubic crystals set in sharp contrast against a dark siderite matrix.

Fluorite is famous for its glass-like luster and geometric, box-like cubic structures. It formed millions of years ago as hot, mineral-rich fluids crystallized inside underground rock cavities.

This piece comes from the long-closed Boltsburn Mine in Weardale - a world-renowned UK region celebrated by collectors for producing top-tier historic fluorites.

All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
