This little specimen is a fluorite twin: two crystals that grew through each other as they formed, so they're locked together in a single piece. It's one of nature's neater tricks, and Britain is one of the best places in the world to find it. The old mining country of the north has been turning out fluorite admired by collectors everywhere for centuries, so this is a proper bit of home-grown treasure.
Fluorite is the stone of focus and clarity, and as twins it takes on a bit of extra meaning. Twinned crystals are kept for partnerships, relationships and balance, and for bringing two sides together, whether that's two people, two paths or two halves of yourself that haven't been getting along. It's lovely on the altar for love and friendship work, or as a reminder that you don't always have to go it alone.
It's small at 1cm, but every bit a British original.
Natural specimen. Shape and colour vary. Fluorite is a soft stone, so keep it away from water, knocks and strong sunlight.
