A radiant rarity from the heart of Weardale. While the Diana Maria Mine is world-famous for its emerald greens, this 204g specimen showcases a far more elusive palette of honey-yellow. We curated this piece for its remarkable 'blue phantom' zoning, a ghostly internal layer visible within the primary cube that speaks to a sudden change in chemistry during its formation millions of years ago. Like all Diana Maria fluorites, this specimen is highly reactive, shifting to a vibrant blue-white under UV light. With its clean crystal geometry and unusual color profile, this 'Old Stock' style treasure is a sophisticated outlier for any specialized fluorite collection.
