Fluorite with Chalcopyrite

Unknown Owner
Nice zoned purple cabinet sized fluorite from Hardin County, Illinois. This particular specimen features a scattering of some sparkling chalcopyrite. It should also be noted that the specimen fluoresces both yellow and a distinct orange color under ultraviolet light due to petroleum inclusions that follow internal fracture lines. The back is nicely etched.
