Item Description

Gorgeous and classic Illinois-blue fluorite cubes have a purple outer zone and are strikingly capped by a strontianite ball on this very showy and excellent combination specimen from the famous Minerva No. 1 Mine. The lustrous faces have intense stepped-growth, which really adds character. The strontianite ball is complete all-around and pristine. Moderate deep purple fluorescence.
