Fluorite specimens from the Kentucky portion of the famed Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District were seldom preserved and hence, are seldom available. This is a showy, 3-dimensional cluster of intergrown, translucent, light gray fluorite cubes, with a hint of interior yellow, grading upward to a very pleasing, light purple. The darker purple edges are particulary striking and add great beauty. The large, purple cube on the crest is 2.5 cm. Ex. Mullane Collection.
