urn is formed from rare Weardale Fluorite, its translucency alive with subtle
internal movement and when exposed to ultraviolet light reacts by displaying a
deep cobalt-blue. The mounts featuring finely modelled masks of Hermes /
Mercury, the classical messenger God. Weardale Fluorite, from northern England,
carries a legacy as refined as it is rare. Mined since the 12th Century &
prized since the 18th century, these gemstones were quietly favoured by
