Description
An exquisite Illinois fluorite with unusual transparency and intense zoning. Many of the crystals show architectural growth patterns. In good lighting, the specimen just lights up, highlighting the glowing golden cores, sharp purple phantoms, and light teal-blue exteriors of the crystals. These are getting SO HARD to obtain now that the mines are closed and gone! 9 x 6 x 5 cm
