DENTON MINE ICON
A classic from the legendary Denton Mine, this Illinois fluorite glows with rich golden honey interiors wrapped in deep violet cubic crystals. Under backlighting, the internal zoning comes alive, revealing the incredible transparency and color contrast that has made Cave-in-Rock fluorites world famous.
Adding even more character are sparkling calcite crystals perched across the specimen and subtle chalcopyrite accents that bring flashes of metallic brilliance against the fluorite. It’s a combination that perfectly captures the beauty and complexity of the Illinois Fluorspar District.
Even better, this specimen carries outstanding provenance—from the personal collection of Sam Nasser, preserving an important piece of collecting history alongside an iconic American locality.
Provenance: Denton Mine, Cave-in-Rock Mining District, Hardin County, Illinois, USA Ex. Collection of Sam Nasser
A true collector’s piece that tells the story of one of America’s greatest fluorite localities.
