# - 4879 Fluorite with enhydro
This daylight fluorescent fluorite specimen, from the Rogerley Mine in England, contains an enhydro inclusion: an air bubble trapped in a pocket of ancient water. While enhydro inclusions in quartz are fairly common, finding an enhydro inclusion in fluorite is quite rare.
Widely considered the finest green fluorite in the world, fluorite sourced from the Rogerley mine in the UK is world renowned for its exquisite quality and unique daylight fluorescence. Although fluorite is often fluorescent under UV light, Rogerley fluorites can fluoresce in response to the UV rays in sunlight; this is a truly unique effect unmatched by any other crystal. When exposed to sunlight, these stunning green crystals transform and fluoresce dark blue. Under a UV light, Rogerley fluorites display their high fluorescence by glowing an intense neon blue. Considerable variation is found in Rogerley fluorites, and specimens unearthed from different sections of the mine have notably different characteristics. So, each ‘pocket’ from which distinctive fluorites are uncovered, has been assigned a name to assist in differentiating between specimens. This specimen is from the Rogerley mine’s ‘50 year pocket’.
