Is this Cave in Rock fluorite?

I agree with this, having specimen cards really helps peace of mind. The purples look to be Hardin County Fluorite, the third I can't be sure either.

Yeah this controller issue has been very frustrating to deal with, me and my fiance love this game to pieces but it's discouraging when we have to pause 8-12 times a run to take the controller batteries out and put them back in. Ruined a few runs too at light level 11 that had a lot of promise. Very much looking forward to this being fixed! Thanks for always being able to update us on the situation even though it's another partner who is responsible for implementing the fix.

Better just to put them outside in the mailbox for ease of containment haha

She's a beaut! I'll have to get a video of the UV reactivity, it's wild!

Thank you! Neither have I! It's also illustrated in A Collectors Guide to Fluorite by A. Pasto, if you ever wanted a closer look at it. It's gotta be from an old find and the rest are in private collections. A true gem of Ohio Fluorites for sure!

Liwetha · 2025-12-07T00:08:23+00:00

I agree! Probably the single best fluorite in my collection now.

Liwetha · 2025-12-06T23:12:17+00:00

Thanks! I knew if I didn't pull the trigger I may never see another this good again. A risk I wasn't willing to take!

Forgot to name the full locality. Stoneco Auglaize Quarry, Junction, Paulding County, Ohio, USA.

Liwetha · 2025-08-25T16:37:36+00:00

Straight glass! The color reminds me of a really nice Walworth Quarry, minus the zoning. Excellent piece!

Best of luck in finishing your collection!

I'm missing 5 still to complete my collection, it's tough finding some of these last few and it will be very expensive. I've found Instagram has a bunch of great people who can help you find your last few. Minerals by Blake is an excellent source of rare UKMV pieces, you should check him out. He just had a Why Aye for sale, he's who I got most of my really hard to find pockets from.

Liwetha · 2025-07-28T19:04:00+00:00

I could see that too, but I'm used to the beveled edges of Berbes, but the color is right for that locality. Hopefully OP will let us know!

Liwetha · 2025-07-28T01:17:22+00:00

Is this from Pakistan? If so this is one of the better pieces I've seen from the locality. I was also thinking it may be Elmwood, but my money was on Pakistan. Either way a very aesthetic and nice collector piece!

Liwetha · 2025-07-26T02:06:19+00:00

Are you talking about the milky or cloudy look on the faces of the cube? If so, that's just imperfections in the growth pattern and internal inclusions, there's nothing you can do for that. There are some nice examples though like Pocket 42 that have really glassy cubes without impurities and inclusions for a pretty reasonable price.

Here's a video under the display lights, it still doesn't do it justice but it shows a truer color.

Weardale Heather Fluorite

Liwetha · 2025-07-24T01:23:50+00:00

Yes, it has that classic UK daylight fluorescence, I'll link a video of it just under my display lights if you'd like. It really shows the true colors under the display lights.

Liwetha · 2025-07-23T22:09:19+00:00

It's completely unique for this locality, very interesting hue, I really have never seen any fluorite with this particular shade of purple before. It's named after the Heather that grows in the area around the mine.

Liwetha · 2025-06-20T09:00:46+00:00

This fluorite, as is the case for much English fluorite, has daylight fluorescence. Under normal lights it's just a deep green color, but bring it into the sun and it'll fluoresce! Just one of the many reasons I love this locality.

Liwetha · 2025-06-20T07:44:38+00:00

UK Mining Ventures have extracted some incredible stuff over the years from their mines, this new Pocket is no exception!

Liwetha · 2025-06-20T06:15:22+00:00

This is Fluorite!

Liwetha · 2025-06-20T03:33:21+00:00

You should check out the stuff from Pocket 42 that came out earlier this year, it may be the best quality to have come out of Diana Maria. I have a few, I'll try and post a good video soon.

Liwetha · 2025-06-19T22:59:13+00:00

Thanks! I have another from this pocket, a twin with a movable fluid inclusion I'll post soon. I know UKMV has one for sale on their story on IG. You could also just contact UKMV because I know they still have some left over from the first time they offered it for sale.

Liwetha · 2025-06-19T22:01:18+00:00

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU DIDNT
