Cumbria Dolomite & Quartz - UK Mineral

A fascinating natural Dolomite and Quartz specimen from Cumbria, UK, combining bright crystalline Quartz with contrasting earthy Dolomite and dark natural matrix.

One face of the specimen is covered in a dense layer of fine, sparkling white Quartz crystals, creating a beautifully frosted surface that catches the light across the entire piece. Scattered darker mineral inclusions break through the Quartz, adding even more character to the formation.

Turn the specimen around and its appearance changes completely. The reverse reveals warm cream, ochre and brown mineralisation alongside further Quartz crystals, with textured Dolomite formations creating intricate pockets and layers across the matrix.

Measuring approximately 63.5 × 59.5mm, this is a wonderfully tactile British mineral specimen with plenty to explore from every angle. Its contrasting formations make it particularly interesting for collectors who appreciate specimens that retain their completely natural geological character.

Sourced from Cumbria, UK, it is also a lovely example of the varied mineral specimens found within one of Britain's historically important mineral-producing regions.

About Dolomite & Quartz

Dolomite is a calcium magnesium carbonate mineral that can form in a variety of colours and crystal habits, often occurring alongside other minerals within mineral-rich geological environments.

Quartz is one of the world's most abundant minerals, but naturally occurring British Quartz specimens have their own appeal amongst locality collectors. Here, the Quartz forms a sparkling crystalline layer across sections of the matrix while the Dolomite and surrounding mineralisation provide a striking earthy contrast.

Together, the different minerals preserve a small snapshot of the geological processes that formed this Cumbrian specimen.
