DENTON MINE COLOR CHAOS

DENTON MINE COLOR CHAOS.

Now THIS is an Illinois Fluorite with personality.

An absolutely killer Fluorite with Calcite from the Denton Mine, Hardin County, Illinois — showing off an incredible combination of electric blue, deep purple and warm orange tones all packed into one seriously special specimen.

The zoning is ridiculous. Hold it to the light and those colors come alive, revealing layer after layer of internal architecture.

And check out those modified edges — giving the crystals an even more unusual geometric look and adding another dimension to an already wild piece. Add the Calcite association and this thing just keeps giving from every angle.
