Good example of an unusual form of fluorite given the name 'reticulated'.  This specimen has a 50x40mm cavity lined with sharp elongated fluorite crystals most in parallel alignment along with a scattering of calcite crystals  As far as I know Old Towns quarry is the only location in Britain where this form of fluorite occurs.
