Fluorite with Quartz
specimen number:
3401348
location:
Deardorff mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description:
Classic old time specimen from this area with raspberry purple crystals of translucent semi lustrous fluorite to 1.3 cm in size across the front of a sparkling crystallized quartz matrix. There crystallized quartz casts after a previous unknown mineral, spherical in shape and am guessing perhaps petroleum bubbles. These measure to 1.0 cm across. Slight micro-cleaving present but still in very good condition.
Size: 21.0 x 19.0 x 10.0 cm (large-cabinet)
