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.

Our Go-To Pull-Ups for Potty Training
Size: 2T-3T, Unit Count: 124
We’ve tried a few different brands during potty training, and we always come back to Pull-Ups. They fit my daughter really well, are easy for her to pull up and down on her own, and hold up great overnight without leaking. The sides tear easily for quick changes, which is super helpful when you’re out and about. The designs are also cute and helped make potty training a little more exciting for my toddler. Definitely a staple in our house during this stage!

Luvs pulls up are the best
Size: 5T-6T, Unit Count: 48
I love this brand. It’s very secure, and the adjustable band makes it easy to tighten without taking off my child’s pants. It doesn’t leave an odor, the texture is smooth, and my child is always comfortable. The price matches the quality, and there’s no leakage or spillover. Overall, it’s very durable. Make sure to have it correctly fastened because the Velcro can leave scratches on child skin.

Fits true to size and easy to pull up and down by my toddler. Very absorbent - perhaps a little too absorbent as it's taking my daughter forever to be potty trained and she's content in her soiled training pants... Great quality overall.

They prevent leaks, and fit great!
We have always used Huggies diapers for our babies and young toddlers because they were the only ones that never leaked or caused a rash. My second daughter was fully potty trained at 2.5 years old and never needed pull-ups. However, our third daughter, who also trained at 2.5 years old, digressed with her nighttime potty training due to instability - we moved twice within the first 6 weeks after she potty trained. So we had to get pull-ups for her to wear at night. Obviously since we loved Huggies diapers, we tried Huggies Pull-Ups, and again, they did not disappoint! They never leak, even on nights when she doesn't get up to go at all, and has lots of pee, and they have never caused a rash either, no matter how full. She's been using them for 1.5 years, at night, and we have never had any issues. They are dependable: decently comfortable to the child, do not cause rashes, fit properly with the ability to adjust at the thigh (if needed), and they prevent leaks! I highly recommend them!
