Fluorite

A thin matrix plate completely coated with lemon-yellow Fluorite crystals from the Dow Scar Flats at Hilton mine in Scordale, Cumbria. Smaller, pale yellow-tan Fluorite crystals to 4 mm cover the matrix on both sides and on top of these, larger, elongated interpenetrant twins of honey-lemon gemmy crystals to 1.4 cm are scattered; eight on the upper surface and one underneath. This fine specimen was collected by Patricia Greenbank in the early 1970’s and comes with both Lindsay Greenbank (LG581) and Patricia Greenbank (PG1) collection labels.
