Condition

This is an extremely gemmy amber coloured Fluorite for Wet Grooves mine in North Yorkshire, England. So much so that it looks reminiscent of Hilton mine, but with less twinning and with finely detailed surface stepping. At 1.7 cm on edge the Fluorite crystals are a good size making for a fine miniature specimen. In places the crystals are totally transparent. Overall the crystals are in great condition, but there is chipping near one of the corners on the main crystal. Ex Arvid Pasto collection, no. P1740.
