Description

A nice fluorite specimen from 1980: interlicked translucent cubes of fluorite with yellowish to purplish colour, hosting some dull grey galena crystals and small blades of beige baryte. The label only gives USA, but the specialists confirmed Southern Illinois with no doubt. The jury still out if it might be Hill-Ledford, Rosiclare or Denton with a slight majority for Hill-Ledford. Hardin Cty seems to be a quite safe assignment.
