MONSTER UV Fluorite Best Find And How I Properly Cleaned It

I was on a day trip mooching about a Derbyshire cliff face and stumbled on the find of my life, it was submerged in the ground and covered in a thin layer of mud, i resurrected it and the rest is in my history books, quite possibly the best biggest find so far in my collected ..... Enjoy the vid!

That beautiful rock looks celestial under the UV light.

@@michelleangers342 Couldn't have put it better! A lovely word, thank you! I tell ya, i wish i could be that tiny little bug and explore this crystal in uv like an insane neon glacial planet... it's out of this world, im still stunned at it's beauty, in all aspects of light 💎🪄✨🙏

What a amazing and beautiful find!! Just love the way you show there beauty in all there different colours under different lighting well done. Hope your car was close to the cave 😜🥵

Thank you my dear friend, i had to carry it about the length of a football field, def far enough lol, then i had to leave it in a bush down a private road and drive back during the night to get it in the car.... but i did it and super glad i did, this thing is mental and well worth it , what a beauty 💎💎💎 Take good care 👍⛏😎

Wow…you must be so chuffed finding that…really awesome. 😁💕👍🏻

[@UKFluorescentMineralHunter]

Thank you!! I feel over the moon and super chuffed to be honest, not sure i'll ever find anything quite like it again, but you never know, better may come along one day and i'll be sure to post it 👍 Take care and thanks for your support 💎🙏

So YUGE 🤣The deep blue edge zoning on the larger crystals is real nice. I think the orange is probably organic hydrocarbons. If you have a small piece you can test by heating to very high temperature and it will destroy them. Also give a chance to observe the thermoluminescence of the fluorite.

[@UKFluorescentMineralHunter]

Haha yes this one is a little big lol 🤣 If this one ain't enough to satisfy me then i don't know what is! Interesting, i have some smaller chunks which have the same fluorescence, i shall put a piece in the oven and observe.... what kind of temp do think would do it?

[@Muonium1]

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter perhaps 500F? That should excite the thermoluminescence anyway, may not be enough to destroy the hydrocarbons though. If it's an electric, the glow from the heating coils may prevent easy observation of the TL light. I'd only use a small piece and definitely wear goggles if handling, the hydrocarbons may build up enough pressure inside as they vaporize and cause it to explode! A torch to heat a piece will work, but a full face shield and heavy cotton clothes will be necessary.
