Lime City has been a great producer of several minerals. Fine celestine, blue and/or white, is most common, usually in flattened pseudohexagonal crystals with a flat pinacoidal termination, often fluorescent & phosphorescent, presumably from strontianite inclusions; a cave was opened up back in the 70s, I believe, that yielded literally tons of specimens! Tea to root beer-colored fluorite resembles Clay Center material, but without the bladed white celestine found there. Calcite, mostly in dogtooth crystals from nearly colorless to amber, sometimes occurs in large vugs. Ruby sphalerite and pyrite are found in small, lustrous crystals, while galena is known as micro material. White to orange-yellow aragonite and/or strontianite occur as plushy linings of acicular crystals in small vugs.

Im from south africa and here we get a lot quartz crystals (orange river quartz) with a hematite covering and inclusion. It looks the some colour to the specimen that you have but i have not heard of it covering celestine before
