Here we have one of the great "classics" from the United States. Some of the most colorful and stunning Fluorite specimens ever found in the United States are those from Hardin County, Illinois. This district produced literally tons upon tons of some of the finest quality, multi-colored Fluorite the world has ever seen. This specimen is a nice sharp, rich gemmy purple and blue color, phantom crystal. Like all specimens from this area, the color always looks better in sunlight, and this crystal is exceptionally rich and vibrant when viewed outdoors. This area is completely closed down and there will never be any more Fluorite mined there. 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.3cm
