A fine, distinctively different fluorite specimen from the Minerva #1 Mine of Illinois. Sharp, translucent and lustrous, vivid purple fluorite cubes to 2.5 cm with stepped-growth faces are beautifully set atop a cluster of translucent, yellow fluorite cubes. Nearly all Minerva #1 purple fluorites, associated with yellow fluorite, have yellow cores, not separate purple and yellow fluorite. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
