Named after George and Matthew Wilson, who collected most of the original find back in the late 1990s, the Wilson Vein forms the southernmost mineralised vein in the former Eastgate Quarry.

A top specimen from a well-known locality— this Huanggang Fluorite is completely colourless, with a sharp octahedral crystal perched elegantly atop smaller crystals that are equally as clean. Pristine and complete all-around, many from these finds are dull in lustre or frosted somewhat, but not this one! Absolutely gemmy and glassy, with an unmatched aesthetic.
Locality: Huanggang Mine, Inner Mongolia, China 🇨🇳
Measures: Approx. 6.2 x 6.4cm
One of those few fluorite specimens from the Emilio Mine with hydrocarbon inclusions (the round, black “ink droplets”)- a mineral combo beloved by fluorite collectors, thanks to the distinctive “black & white” aesthetic between the glassy, colourless fluorite and black bitumen.
Locality: Emilio Mine, Asturias, Spain
Measures: Approx. 7 x 4.4cm
A gorgeous specimen from the Llamas Quarry, with the biggest crystal being a water-clear, tabular fluorite with a slightly bluish-violet tinge. There are also several other smaller crystals, some cubic, but with the same exceptional clarity, growing aesthetically alongside the focal one.
Locality: Llamas Quarry, Duyos, Spain
Measures: Approx. 3.6 x 3.2cm
As with most Cambokeels Mine fluorite, this specimen features translucent colourless to white twinned crystals, and interestingly, with greyish-black chalcopyrite crystals forming the zonings within. There are also several clear cubic crystals growing alongside the main interpenetrating twin, providing a good contrast and aesthetic.
