NOW THIS IS A MINERVA NO. 1 SHOWSTOPPER.

An absolutely killer Fluorite with Barite from the legendary Minerva No. 1 Mine, Cave-in-Rock, Hardin County, Illinois

The color on this piece is just ridiculous — rich golden-orange fluorite exploding into deep purple and magenta zoning, with sharp, stacked cubic architecture and incredible translucency. Then sitting right in the middle is that contrasting barite ball, giving the entire specimen a completely unique look.

This is exactly what I chase in Illinois fluorite: COLOR. ZONING. ARCHITECTURE. CONTRAST. And most importantly, a piece with its own personality.
