Dramatic, large, parallel-growth and smaller single tan calcite scalenohedrons are sculpturally clustered on the massive fluorite matrix along with a juicy, transparent, yellow fluorite cube included with hydrocarbons on this showy and excellent large combination from the famous fluorite mines of Southern Illinois. The hydrocarbons fluoresce white and the fluorite light purple. There is a very light blue edge phantom within the fluorite cube. Both large calcites have cleaved terminations. Impressive large combination material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. valued $1000
