location:
Deardorff Mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description: Exceptionally nice deep grape purple cubic crystals of fluorite to 5.0 cm on edge over the front of a 22.0 x 15.0 x 5.5 cm matrix. Crystals of galena to almost 2.0 cm in smaller sphalerite crystals are present. Overall this is in very fine condition. Neat surface textures on this likely due to the presence of hydrocarbon that is now gone.
