An outstanding example of this gorgeous fluorite pocket. This specimen is a beautiful rich teal-dark green blue with a yellow core and touches of quartz. It is wonderfully glassy with prominent zones. 

This specimen measures: 5 cm x 3.2 cm x 2.5 cm

As taken from UKMV: "A small pocket discovered in January 2024, Midnight Oil – named in reference to the ethereal, oily midnight teal-blue colour displayed by some of the Fluorite crystals – lies in the flats north of the Sutcliffe Vein near the Milky Way pocket.

At least three very different colours of Fluorite were found in this pocket, including wine-yellow, teal-green, and teal-blue, with larger crystals displaying excellent glassy faces, fine transparency, and remarkable internal reflections. Some show stunning zonation between colours, particularly yellow with teal rims. Vertical zonation of colour was apparent within this cavity.

Many of the smaller Fluorite crystals display internal frosting on the central parts of their cubic faces but still possess exceptional gemminess in the corners."
