Fluorite

Unknown Owner
Here we have a wonderful blue and purple fluorite from Illinois with excellent color saturation and zoning. There are a scattering of golden calcite crystals on top of the cubes adding a nice contrast. Specimens such as this are harder and harder to come by. The specimen does have some damage noted on several corners. The largest cube is 3.2cm across.
