A striking specimen from the famous Minerva #1 Mine in Illinois, showcasing beautifully zoned fluorite crystals with vivid yellow and purple hues. The fluorite’s sharp cubic form is enhanced by the presence of lustrous sphalerite, adding contrast and depth to the piece. This combination of minerals highlights the unique mineralogy of the Southern Illinois district, long celebrated for its world-class fluorite specimens. Now a closed locality, pieces of this quality are increasingly scarce, making this a desirable addition to any fine mineral collection.
