Fluorite
specimen number:
3041065
location:
Deardorff Mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description: Spectacular an aesthetic specimen from this old classic locality with typical rosy purple translucent cubic crystals of fluorite to 7.5 cm on edge forming a very shapely and aesthetic grouping 35.0 x 20.0 x 12.0 cm in size. Slight cleaving present on a few crystal corners, still overall I think this in very good condition considering the size of the piece in the age of the piece. This displays beautifully on its own and is quite three-dimensional. Very fine.
Size: 35.0 x 20.0 x 12.0 cm (large-cabinet)
