Fluorite

Illinois fluorite royalty with collector pedigree…

This is exactly the kind of Southern Illinois fluorite that fuels the addiction.

A glowing golden-yellow core is wrapped in a razor-thin violet-purple edge, creating that iconic Cave-In-Rock color combination that made Illinois fluorite legendary. Under transmitted light, the crystal reveals an incredible maze of internal zoning, geometric growth patterns, and natural inclusions that look like a blueprint drawn by nature itself.

The contrast is unreal. Rich yellow fluorescence-like glow from within, framed by deep purple phantom borders around the cube. Every angle tells a different story.

And then there’s the provenance.
