Fluorite on Sphalerite

Minerva No. 1 Mine, Cave-In-Rock, Cave-in-Rock Sub-District, Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District, Hardin Co., Illinois

13 x 11 x 6.5 cm

A matrix of sphalerite bejeweled with tons sharp cubes of light blue fluorite, made to look purplish in places due to the ruby jack sphalerite underneath being so bright red and shiny. This is a sweet big piece. Much much MUCH better in person.
