Item Description

Gorgeous, sky-blue gem fluorite cubes are aesthetically clustered atop the starkly contrasting mounded barite matrix on this very fine example from the famous Minerva Mine. The highly lustrous cubes have lightly frosted faces. Nearly pristine, it's hard to see the one gently bruised corner. Purple fluorescence. Classic and beautiful Illinois fluorite. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. The correct color was HARD to capture.
