Fluorite from the Rogerley Mine, Weardale, Northern England.

The Rogerley mine is located in an abandoned 19th century limestone quarry near the village of Frosterley in the historic Weardale mining district, northern England. First discovered in the early 1970’s by partners Lindsay Greenbank and Mick Sutcliffe, the Rogerley is, to date, the only mine in the UK to be operated on a commercial basis solely for mineral specimens. The mine was worked on a weekend basis by the partners through the early 1990’s, producing a limited, but fairly steady stream of high quality green fluorite specimens.

The specimens you find here have just arrived directly from the mine. We have been lucky to select and get the best in terms of quality and price. Nice cubes, nice colors. These fluorites have the extraordinary characteristic to show a wonderful green color under the electric light that moves to a wonderful green and blue under the sun light ! you should get one of them to see how beautiful they are !
