DENTON MINE COLOR AT ITS FINEST

DENTON MINE COLOR AT ITS FINEST

This Fluorite with Barite from the legendary Denton Mine, Illinois is an absolute color bomb. That rich, saturated royal purple is already incredible—but the intense electric-blue zoning running across the crystal takes this piece to another level.

Backlit, the fluorite just glows, revealing layer after layer of purple, violet and brilliant blue. Add the sharp cubic geometry, glassy transparency and scattered Barite, and you have exactly the kind of Illinois fluorite that stops you in your tracks.

That blue against the deep purple is just ridiculous.
