Fluorite w/ Chalcopyrite (uncommon combo)

Item Description

Chalcopyrite is relatively rare from the famous mines of the Illinois Fluoropar District. Sparkly golden crystals are sprinkled on the very fine large mounded plate of bi-colored fluorite cubes. The highly lustrous, transparent to translucent cubes, to 3.0 cm, have frosted, etched or stepped-growth faces with rich golden-amber interiors beautifully complimented with pretty violet-purple areas. Very nearly pristine, with only one gently cleaved corner noted, which is certainly only a modest detraction. This is an exceptional bi-colored Denton Mine fluorite with uncommon chalcopyrite. Modest dark purple fluorescence. Valued at $1250-1500 and worth it.
