A beautiful cluster of lustrous, transparent, purple fluorite cubes with a yellow core from the famous mid-1990s finds at the Minerva #1 Mine of Southern Illinois. These are certainly one of the most sought-after fluorite varietals from the very well-known and now, essentially extinct, Southern Illinois Fluorite District. The fluorite cubes are in super shape, with only trivial edge-wear. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
