Fluorite Specimen from County Durham, England

We're doing a couple of "mini" updates to our site this week.  The first group includes some specimens from England, China, Nevada and Quebec.  Later in the week we'll be displaying several specimens from various African locations.

Included in that first batch is this beautiful fluorite specimen from the Greenlaws Mine in County Durham, England.  Capturing the actual color of this piece proved tricky for our photographer.  The pink color seen in the photographs only appears under certain lighting.  It's actual color is very pale yellow with purple bands near the crystal edges.
