Illinois Fluorite
-
RM2,239A beautiful Illinois corner with saturated yellow, to almost orange colours. The zonings are colourless with a hint of the rarer blue, with purple edges and etchings on the crystal itself. The fluorite specimen is extremely glassy, so much that the zoning is completely see-through. An exceptional specimen from the famous Annabel Lee mine.
Locality: Annabel Lee Mine, Hardin County, Illinois, USA
Measures: Approx. 5.5 x 5.1cm -
RM1,080A fun little fluorite with incredibly deep purple colour that appears pitch black when viewed as is. But, when backlit, the edges of this Victory Mine fluorite glows vibrantly with vivid purple and bright magenta hues! Curiously, the centre of this specimen remains dark and impenetrable even by the brightest of light.
A well-formed, complete fluorite specimen with little to no damage (remarkable condition for this 20-years old find!).
Locality: Victory Mine, Illinois, USA
Measures: Approx. 2.4 x 2.2cm
