Durham, England, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailing from 'Pocket 42' of the Sutcliffe Vein, this pleasing specimen featuring perfectly terminated crystals with optical-grade gem clarity. The world-class 'emerald green' crystals take on a stunning blue fluorescence when exposed to natural UV light from the sun. The Fluorites of Weardale are famous across the world from this natural phenomenon, with the word 'fluorescence' originating from this mineral species. Indoors, the crystals lose the blue fluorescence and display their true emerald green colouration.  The fluorescence can also be replicated under both SW and LW artificial light as seen in the pictures provided. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmongst the lustrous gem crystals of Fluorite, several associated Galena are present.
