ROSICLARE LEVEL COLOR BOMB — PURE ILLINOIS JUICE

ROSICLARE LEVEL COLOR BOMB — PURE ILLINOIS JUICE

Now THIS is the kind of Minerva fluorite that gets me going.

An absolutely JUICY, GLASSY Fluorite from the Rosiclare Level, Minerva No. 1 Mine, Cave-in-Rock, Hardin County, Illinois — exploding with insane color.

Deep saturated purple, glowing golden-yellow, flashes of green and incredible zoning all packed into one wild cluster. Hit this beauty with the light and it absolutely IGNITES.

The glassy luster, sharp cubic architecture, stepped faces and dramatic color contrasts make this one seriously special. And I LOVE the provenance — accompanied by old Miner’s Lunchbox and Bisbeeborn Minerals / Ross Lillie labels, specimen EDS978.

GLASS. COLOR. ZONING. JUICE.

Another killer piece from one of my favorite historic American fluorite localities. The Illinois fluorite hunt just keeps getting deeper… THE HUNT CONTINUES.
