Fluorite - USA classic, vintage 1950
Cave-in-Rock, Hardin County
Illinois, United States
4.4 x 3.3 x 2.5 CM (miniature)
price: $280
Late Summer 2021
A nearly pure bright yellow color Fluorite with a tiny faint zone of light blue on some edges. This is an old piece with a tattered label dated 1950. The color and translucency is excellent, there are some edges that are slightly rough, the back and one side are the point of removal. The display side of the two main cubes is in nice condition. There is one round "Barite hole" on a face that adds a nice accent. Close exam of the wider faces shows many geometric growth structures and a little stepping, the luster is wet looking.
