Purple Blue perfection from Pope County

Purple Blue perfection from Pope County.

A classic from the legendary Gaskins Mine, Pope County, Illinois, this fluorite captures everything collectors love about Southern Illinois material. Deep royal purple melts into vivid electric blue, creating that unmistakable color contrast that has made Illinois fluorites world-famous.

The sharp cubic geometry, glassy luster, and incredible translucency allow the crystal to come alive in transmitted light, revealing rich internal zoning that shifts with every angle. Specimens like this are a reminder of why the Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District continues to produce some of the most iconic fluorites ever discovered.

Collector-grade Illinois beauty—timeless, elegant, and impossible to overlook.
