Fluorite from USA, Ohio, Delphos, Suever Stone Co. quarry

Fluorite with Pyrite - Suever Stone Co. Quarry, Delphos, Van Wert Co., Ohio

💛💛💛💛💛💛

Ex. Harris Precht

Glassy gemmy amber colored crystals of fluorite with crystallized pyrite. Collected by John Medici in the 1980s.

The National Lime and Stone Company’s Delphos quarry has produced aggregate and flagstone since the late 1940s and was operated for most of that time by the Suever Stone Company and was purchased by National Lime and Stone only more recently.

The Delphos quarry was never a heavily collected locality in the Findlay Arch district, but it was known to produce outstanding crystals, like this one if I do say so myself!
