Fluorite with Baryte and Sphalerite

Unknown Owner
Lovely light blue to colorless fluorite cubes it on top of orange/reddish sphalerite with a coating of lustrous, sparkling blades of baryte. This piece features a visually appealing association and arrangement of species on this specimen. Also, under long wave UV light, the fluorite fluoresces bright blue-purple, and the baryte fluoresces bright orangey-yellow. This would be a nice addition to any Illinois or fluorite collection.
