Fluorite

Locality: Hardin Co., Illinois, USA

This fine, sky blue, transparent, fluorite specimen has deep purple centers, which give it an ethereal quality because they look phantomlike tucked back behind so much blue zoning. This is a great display piece of an increasingly rare American classic! The largest crystal measures 6 cm across. It also fluoresces a deep, rich purple color. The label indicates that this piece was mined in 1981. NOTE: NOT ZINN . FROM THE TOM WIESNER FLUORITE COLLECTION (a major Illinois stash), part of which i got at the same time 12.5 x 12.5 x 6 cm
