Nice specimen Don. The little quartzes look like necklaces on the fluorite cubes.

Curious and nice combination of small quartz crystals on the fluorite edges. I'm talking about 1-IMG_5286.JPG.

I have to agree with everyone here about the Smallcleugh Mine fluorite too. The college I attended, Earlham College in Indiana, has a wonderful English fluorite that was only labeled “Cumberland, England” as it came from a very old collection that was donated to the college. The specimen in their collection strongly resembles yours. It is very nice to see a similar one after all these years.
