An aesthetic group of intergrown light purple-white crystals of Fluorite and neon purple fluorescence, with crystals of Chalcopyrite from Blackdene Mine, Weardale. Well-developed crystals of Fluorite are from cubic to flattened square measuring to 2.9cm, formed over a core of green Fluorite. Bright brassy crystals of Chalcopyrite have developed on some faces of the Fluorite, with a later deposition of jumbled white-pale purple Fluorite crystals. There is some chipping to the Fluorite.
