An emerald-hued masterpiece from one of England's most storied modern finds. This 177g specimen hails from the specific 'Naughty Gnome Pocket' of the Diana Maria Mine, showcasing exceptionally sharp, interpenetrating cubic crystals with a mirror-like luster. While the stone appears as a deep forest green in indoor lighting, it possesses the legendary 'daylight fluorescence' characteristic of Weardale Fluorite, shifting toward a brilliant violet hue under natural UV rays. With its crisp geometric edges and subtle internal color zoning, this piece represents the high-water mark for contemporary British mineral aesthetics.
