Description
A very attractive old time combination specimen from this forgotten old mine. It dates from the late 1970's. The Fluorite has a mixture of apple green & yellow / amber coloured crystals. The Quartz also shows a range from clear, lustrous, well formed crystals to a white micro crystalline druse. Whilst I would not display this in direct light, nonetheless the green colour appears to be more stable when the Fluorite is associated with Quartz. Some West Pastures Fluorites lose their colour within minutes of coming out of the mine - but this one still has good colour after 50 years ! It is from the West Pastures Mine, Stanhope, Weardale, County Durham, UK It measures 73x57x43mm & weighs 160.2g ORDERING INFORMATION: Shipping: All orders are posted by the equivalent of Priority Mail with a tracking number & are dispatched in 3 working days or less.
