Fluorite mineral specimens

Fluorite specimens from around the world

Nice specimen pieces of Fluorite, from various places around the world.

Our current stock consists of:

Unknown Fluorite specimens:

• Unknown #1 - 58.2x43.8x27.7MM - nice budget piece of honey coloured fluorite. Unknown locale unfortunately.

Spanish Fluorite specimens:

• Spanish Fluorite #2 - multiple gorgeous overlapping orange-brown cubes of Fluorite on matrix, from Asturias, Spain. 107x62x55MM approx.

UK Fluorite specimens:

• • Various specimens of Weardale Fluorite from County Durham, UK, sold by their size. These are randomly picked and may not be the ones in the photos. The crystals are typically clear or a pale orange, sometimes a pale purple. The random picks are not the highest quality specimens we stock but are a good way to get a specimen at a decent price point - we have some fairly large pieces currently. Some are fluorescent under UV.
  • #1 - 50.8x39.2x31.6MM, Weardale, UK - a series of really rather nice saturated green cubes on matrix, which are sadly etched - if these were perfect it'd be a very nice piece. Brightly fluorescent. Minor Galena crystals on this one.
  • #2 - 35.5x28.2x21.7MM, Weardale, UK - clear, fluorescent crystals, no matrix.
  • #3 - 48.3x33.5x21.4MM, Weardale, UK - clear to pale yellow crystals on matrix, minor fluorescence
  • #4 - 64.9x36.5x29.7MM, Weardale, UK - pale to off-green crystals on matrix - nice piece. Very fluorescent under 365nm.
  • #5 - 90.4x40.2x26.4MM, Weardale, UK - pale to off-green crystals on matrix; the Fluorite crystals are very fluorescent under 365nm and the back is covered with a Calcite that responds with a pale pink.
  • #6 - 45.7x34.3x30.3MM, Weardale, UK - a very fine layer of purple fluorite crust over clear fluorite - likely a generation or two with higher calcium or yttrium causing the purple colour. Creamy off-white fluorescence.
  • #7 - 40.8x28.3x20.5MM, Weardale, UK - a nice clear orange piece with well developed fluorescent crystals over matrix.
  • #8 - 64.8x63.7x51.8MM, Weardale, UK - half a brick of clear fluorite with a very thin crust of purple over about half of it. Bright white-yellow fluorescence in pinprick areas, which reminds me of hydrocarbon inclusions I've seen in some other fluorites.
  • #9 - 54.7x50.2x35MM, Weardale, UK - a nice double sided piece with plenty of apple to dark green Fluorite.
  • #10 - 65.1x37.6x35.4MM, Weardale, UK - a fantastic colour zoned specimen comprised of clear and purple Fluorite. One end shows a distinct triangle shape where bands of clear and purple Fluorite meet with an unknown dark 'dust like' mineral.
  • #11 - 63.5x37.5x18.9MM, Weardale, UK - a nice doubled sided piece with plenty of fluorescence.
  • #12 - 61.3x39.5x26MM, Weardale, UK - a single sided purple piece with plenty of fluoresence.
