Description

Classic from the Illinois fluorspar district: a part of a fluorite vein consisting of yellowish sparry fluorite exhibits cubic crystals in part covered by a thin layer of solid bitumen. Some calcite crystals are present too. Although quite some of the cubes have dings and cleavages this is an interesting and quite representative 1970s/80s specimen.
