FLUORITE CRYSTALS - Rogerley Mine, Stanhope, County Durham
« backFLUORITE CRYSTALS
Green cubic crystals
Rogerley Mine, Stanhope, County Durham
A small specimen showing beautiful, transparent, cubic crystals of fluorite from this well-known mine. Unfortunately some of the crystals have been damaged but they are a good colour and it is still a very nice example of the classic green fluorite from Weardale.
Rogerley Mine is situated just east of Stanhope in Weardale in a disused limestone quarry. It has been worked intermittently since the early 1970s solely for mineral specimens.
Rogerley Mine fluorite (like most of the fluorite from other Weardale mines) is highly fluorescent, turning a bright bluish-white under long wave ultraviolet light.
