An incredible Fluorite with Barite from the legendary Minerva Mine #1, Hardin County, Illinois—with color zoning that stops you in your tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat INTENSE electric blue zone across the top of the main cube is ridiculous, transitioning into deep purple, violet and beautiful purple-pink tones, all surrounding that warm amber\/orange interior.
