MINERVA SLICE MAGIC

MINERVA SLICE MAGIC…

This Illinois fluorite section is pure old-school Cave-In-Rock character. Deep violet zoning, smoky lavender transparency, and those wild metallic chalcopyrite inclusions suspended inside the crystal give the entire piece an almost stormy atmosphere in transmitted light. The internal landscape on this one is unreal — every angle reveals new phantoms, flashes, and shadow-like sulfide textures frozen inside the fluorite.

Classic Minerva No. 1 Mine material all day… rich saturation, sharp geometric structure, and that unmistakable Southern Illinois glow collectors obsess over. Pieces with visible chalcopyrite inclusions like this add an entirely different layer of personality and depth compared to standard fluorite slices.

Even better, this specimen carries documented provenance: Ex. Garrett Collection

A killer display slice from one of the most legendary fluorite mines ever worked in the United States.
