MINERVA TOADSTOOL MAGIC

MINERVA TOADSTOOL MAGIC

This is the kind of Illinois Fluorite that stops you in your tracks.

An absolutely incredible “toadstool” Fluorite from the legendary Minerva No. 1 Mine, featuring a massive cap of deep electric blue Fluorite sitting dramatically above a glowing golden-yellow base. The contrast is ridiculous.

Backlit, this piece completely transforms—the blue becomes intensely saturated and almost neon, while the yellow underneath lights up like it has its own internal glow. Add the stepped crystal architecture, translucency, and that unmistakable mushroom-like formation, and you have one seriously special old-school Illinois specimen.

And the locality speaks for itself:

Minerva No. 1 Mine Ozark-Mahoning Group, Cave-in-Rock Mining Sub-District, Hardin County, Illinois, USA Fluorite

Deep blue. Golden yellow. TOADSTOOL perfection.

Illinois Fluorite at its absolute finest.
