Item Description

Glassy, transparent, nearly colorless fluorite cubes are piled high on all three sides of this sculptural and showy specimen from Illinois. The cubes have very faint blue color-zoning and rest on a very light amber fluorite interior giving a distinctively different look to the crystals. The scattering of snow-white strontianite botryoids is a very nice accent. Uncommon and excellent combination material from this less well-known district. Complete all-around and in excellent shape. Ex Dennis Mullane Collection.
