A beautiful large cabinet-size group of gemmy, vibrant amber-yellow fluorite crystals to 4.2 cm. on edge, with thin purple edges, from the famous Minerva #1 mine. Great condition and good color make this a fine large Illinois fluorite. Minor hydrocarbon coatings on some crystals could easily be removed to further enhance this fine classic. Mark Cross photo.
