Fluorite from Highway 17 roadcut, Ontario, Canada

A rare and vibrant fluorite on quartz specimen from the historic Highway 17 Roadcut, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada — a one‑time 1800s discovery that produced only a limited number of collectible fluorite pieces. This miniature features fluorite crystals on both sides of the matrix, giving it a fully three‑dimensional presence. The cubes show rich purple coloration with natural translucency and crisp edges, while the underlying quartz adds sparkle and contrast that brightens the overall aesthetic. Despite its small size at 21-grams, the piece has strong color, excellent coverage, and classic character from this long‑exhausted locality. A beautiful, highly displayable example from one of Canada’s most elusive fluorite occurrences.
