This Fluorite with Quartz specimen from the Lemon Meringue pocket exhibits excellent clarity and a bright, glassy lustre, with crisp cubic form that catches the light beautifully. The addition of Quartz adds texture and contrast, enhancing the overall composition and giving the piece a balanced and visually appealing aesthetic. The gentle colour palette combined with sharp crystal definition creates a standout display specimen.
The Lady Annabella Mine has now ceased production but was worked by UK Mining Ventures (UKMV), and is one of the most important modern sources of high-quality Fluorite in Weardale, County Durham – a region internationally renowned for its Fluorite. The Lemon Meringue Pocket has produced distinctive material with characteristic soft yellow hues, often with attractive zoning and quartz association. Worked in August 2020 and named after the resemblance of the bright zingy lemon fluorite with milky-white quartz to the colours and textures of lemon meringue pie.
Specimens from the Lemon Meringue Pocket are limited in quantity, making this material especially desirable among collectors due to its traceability and rarity.
Fluorite from the Lady Annabella Mine is highly sought after for its colour, formation and clarity. Material from specific pockets like Lemon Meringue is particularly collectible due to its distinctive appearance and limited availability. The addition of Quartz further enhances the aesthetic, making this a refined and display-worthy example of modern Weardale Fluorite.
