Illinois fluorite at its finest

Illinois fluorite at its finest.

This incredible fluorite from the legendary Denton Mine, Hardin County, Illinois, is pure eye candy. Rich royal purple cubes frame a glowing golden core, and when backlit the color contrast becomes absolutely mesmerizing. Add in the scattered internal inclusions and razor-sharp cubic faces, and you have the kind of specimen that reminds collectors why the Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District remains one of the world’s most iconic fluorite localities.

Even better, this beauty retains its original Natures Goodz Inc. locality label—a wonderful piece of provenance to accompany an already exceptional collector specimen.
