Weston Earth Images is a Bethlehem company that designs and produces silk scarves for Liberty and Fortnum & Mason among others, and is offering its wonderful scarves at a very special price to benefit its home village.
Fluorite is one of Weston's most popular minerals, and you can see why here.
It has that lovely flowing quality, so you won't be surprised that fluorite derives from the Latin noun fluo meaning a flow of water.
Fluorite has also been called "the most colourful mineral in the world" with the typical colour combinations being the purples, blues and greens you see here.
In 1852, fluorite gave its name to the phenomenon of fluorescence, and, if you really want to know, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting glass and enamels - though we prefer it used for scarves.
While the retail price in Liberty London of this large square scarves was £245 earlier this year, and the Weston website price is £95, it is offered here at just £75 - a saving of over £150, and it benefits a good cause too.
