Geological Information:
- Location: United Kingdom – typically sourced from regions like Weardale, Derbyshire, or other historical lead-fluorite mining districts
- Formation Environment: Fluorite forms in hydrothermal veins, commonly associated with lead-zinc mineralisation. Quartz often crystallises later in the same veins, creating a natural mineral pairing.
- Geological Context: These specimens are typically found within Carboniferous limestone host rocks where low- to medium-temperature fluids deposited fluorite and quartz in cavity-filled systems.
