Weardale Green Fluorite Specimen

A richly detailed green fluorite cluster from Diana Maria Mine in Frosterley, Weardale, County Durham. This specimen features a spread of intergrown cubic crystals across a broad, irregular matrix, with larger green cubes rising among a scattering of smaller crystals.

Revealingl deep forest-green interiors, paler translucent edges and grey-green reflective faces. Some crystals show cloudy internal areas, while others catch the light along their flat faces and angular edges. The earthy brown and beige matrix contrasts beautifully with the green crystals, creating a miniature mineral landscape with something new to notice from every angle. A characterful piece for a British mineral collection or a display shelf.

This specimen is UV reactive, offering another feature to explore under ultraviolet light.

Physical Properties

  • Mineral: fluorite, calcium fluoride (CaF₂).
  • Crystal system: cubic.
  • Hardness: 4 on the Mohs scale.
  • Colour: deep green with paler green and grey-green areas.
  • Appearance: intergrown cubic crystals of varied sizes, with translucent sections, reflective faces and cloudy internal areas.
  • Matrix: textured brown and beige host rock with pale crystalline patches.
  • UV reactivity: reactive under ultraviolet light.

Geology & Formation

Fluorite forms when mineral-rich fluids deposit calcium fluoride in veins and cavities within rock. Its cubic crystal structure produces the distinctive block-like shapes visible in this specimen. Diana Maria Mine in Frosterley lies within the renowned Weardale mineral district in County Durham.

Crystal Properties

In crystal traditions, green fluorite is associated with balance, clarity and renewal. Some believe it may help with focus and encourage a sense of calm, making it a meaningful addition to a quiet workspace or meditation area. These associations are spiritual beliefs rather than scientifically established effects.
