Fluorite on Celestite from Clay Center, Ohio, USA. 21st Century.


Clay Center fluorites are sought-after for their distinctive “root beer” color, especially set on contrasting white celestite. This superlative example embodies all the most desired traits of its locality. It comprises sharp, lustrous, cubic fluorites with the ideal, rich root-beer hue on a matrix of white, bladed celestite crystals. Suspended at center stage, as if defying gravity, is a large, impeccably formed cube. Instantly recognizable and wonderfully formed, it is among the very best examples from the classic locale.
