Description

Fluorite and Quartz from the Timber pocket, displaying all well-formed cubic crystals with a druzy quartz jacket in contrasting colours of white, black and vibrant orange. On of the most visually distinctive finds from Diana Maria Mine. A strong display piece with both presence and precision.

Locality

The Timber pocket was just a small find discovered in June 2024 in the Sutcliffe Vein of the Diana Maria Mine. One of the most recognisable pockets with its association with quartz and vibrant orange iron staining, providing a stunning contrast against the green Fluorite. UKMV has revitalised interest in British Fluorite through the discovery of new pockets yielding high-quality material in limited quantities. Specimens from named pockets such as the Timber pocket are particularly sought after for their traceability and rarity, representing modern finds from a historically important mining district.

Key Features
  • Well-formed cubic Fluorite crystals
  • Quartz association
  • Colour contrast
  • Daylight UV reaction
  • Timber pocket – very limited about of specimens extracted
Why Collectors Value This Specimen

Weardale Fluorite is highly prized for its colour, clarity and fluorescence. Material from specific UKMV pockets carries added collectability due to its limited availability and documented origin. Pieces like this combine classic locality with modern discovery, making them highly desirable among collectors.
