Description

A very nice group of pale yellow fluorite crystals, up to 2.0 cm on an edge, from a less commonly offered British locality. The clarity of these crystals is much better than the images suggest. There are attractive included highlights of fascinating little crystals which appear to be pyrite, however they have a very unusual tadpole like appearance.
