The specimen has a particularly interesting combination of large fluorite masses and areas covered with numerous smaller crystals. Several areas show excellent color variation and translucent fluorite.

LOCALITY
The appearance is consistent with Southern Illinois / Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District material, but the exact mine and locality have not been verified.
I am therefore not representing this specimen as definitively coming from Cave-in-Rock, Rosiclare, Annabel Lee, Minerva, or any other specific mine.
Collectors who require documented mine provenance should consider the locality unverified.
IMPORTANT
This is a large natural mineral specimen and is not a polished or manufactured display piece. It has natural breaks, cleavage, fractures, irregular surfaces and areas of crystal damage. Please examine all photographs carefully.
The photographs were taken in natural outdoor light to show the specimen's actual color and features. Additional photographs show the specimen under UV light.
