Fluorite with Galena (ex Ross Lillie)

Item Description

A wondefful and showy display specimen of Fluorite from the famous Denton Mine. The piece is features a predominant, and unusually elongated crystal of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, blue and purple "phantom" Fluorite which is protruding out of additional Fluorite crystals and associated with minor cuboctahedral Galena on the back. I can see a slight golden color internally, but the piece is mostly purple and blue. The piece comes from the collection of Ross Lillie (# RCL1830). It's certainly a great quality overall piece from this famous locality in southern Illinois. No real damage that I can see aside from an incomplete spot on the corner of the main crystal. A great piece to add to your collection, especially if you collect Fluorites, Southern Illinois specimens, or pieces with fine crystals. Valued in the inventory at $2,400. The piece comes with a custom lucite display base.
