Weardale is among the most renowned sources for fluorite among collectors, producing gemmy cubic crystals with Jolly-Rancher colors and strong UV reactivity. This specimen comes via UK Mining Ventures, who currently own and operate the famed Lady Annabella, Rogerly, and Diana Maria mines in Weardale.

The Purple Rain Pocket is part of the Fairy Hole Vein in the Lady Annabella mine. The find earned its name from the steady rains that accompanied the pocket's extraction, paired with the material's intense purple daylight fluorescence. Daylight fluorescence means the fluorite reacts to the UV in sunlight, taking on an other-worldly indigo glow.

Purple Rain specimens typically appear dark purple-gray under incandescent light (indoor lighting). This variety of fluorite can display good color zoning, with alternating thin bands of violet, amethyst, magenta, mauve, and light green visible at the edges. Many pieces having a green core. The alternating zones of green and purple muddle to give the material its inky grape-soda appearance.

White inclusions create a crazed (crackled) pattern that radiates out from the center of each face. There are small pock marks covering the surface; under magnification they are inverted four-sided pyramids—basically, half of an octahedron. This is caused by natural etching just like trigons in diamonds, and covers one end enough to cause a sheen effect.

UV Reactivity: The specimen reacts with a strong light blue glow under several UV wavelengths, and is very bright when exposed to a powerful 365nm UV light. Some types of purple fluorite phosphoresce, and I did detect faint phosphorescence for several seconds after exposure to 365nm UV light. The color zoning reacts to UV, with banding apparent in the daylight fluorescence image.

It was easiest to photograph the daylight fluorescence effect in sunlight, but I find the glow appears the most intense in indirect or diffused sun—for example, enjoy your fluorite outdoors on an overcast day, or near a window indoors.

5 Stars with 1 Call-Out….
SOLID built like a tank! Really like the all-metal design. No vibration on the road and minimal if any off road, extremely stable. 360 adjustability = endless options on positioning your phone. Overall a good buy considering fit, form and functionality as compared to the less expensive composite holders that shake move and rattle (Drives me nuts). The ONLY negative…. I have a pro max iphone with a case and there’s no way one-handed operation works to insert and remove the phone into the holder. You can use one hand to adjust the angle and positioning but not otherwise. An OFI for OffRoam, incorporate a tension adjustment into the design for ease of insertion and removal of the phone (without breaking the bank). Taking all things into consideration the pros far outweigh the cons! Best unit out there for Gen 3 Tacoma owners.

Recommend!!
Style: Magnetic Mount
I absolutely love this magnetic phone holder for my truck vents! The magnet is super strong, so my phone stays securely in place even on bumpy roads. Installation was a breeze—just a simple screw-in, and it fit perfectly in my truck’s vent. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-install car mount!
