Illinois fluorite at its finest

Illinois fluorite at its finest.

This striking fluorite from the legendary Cave-in-Rock Mining Sub-District, Hardin County, Illinois glows with an incredible combination of deep royal purple and radiant golden honey when backlit. The sharp geometry, dramatic color zoning, and subtle calcite association make it a classic example of why Illinois fluorites remain some of the most sought-after specimens in the world.

Adding to its appeal, this piece comes with its original Most High Minerals – J Ras label from the Ex. J Ras Collection, preserving an important part of its collecting history. Pieces like this are a reminder that the Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District continues to define world-class fluorite.
