Another fluorite specimen, most likely from the 1818 find at White's Level, Middlehopeburn. As with most green fluorite from Weardale mines, the color of these is somewhat unstable and many of the White's Level specimens have faded a bit over time. This one came with a label giving the location as "Heights Meadow." I've never found reference to a location of that exact name.

Thanks Mike.
The back of the mineral label had a hand written note stating that the piece was collected in 2004 from the Corner Pocket.
