A TRUE ILLINOIS CLASSIC
Some specimens check every box… sharp cubic fluorite, rich color zoning, a perfectly perched barite rosette, impeccable aesthetics, and elite provenance.
This exceptional Fluorite with Barite from the legendary Minerva No. 1 Mine, Cave-in-Rock District, Hardin County, Illinois displays beautifully lustrous cubes with saturated golden honey interiors framed by deep violet edges. Resting in the center is a snow-white barite rosette, creating the kind of contrast that has made Minerva specimens legendary among collectors.
What makes this piece even more special is its remarkable pedigree: Ex. Roy Smith Collection (#M-1723) Ex. Alan Jenkins Collection Alan’s Quality Minerals, LLC.
Museum-worthy aesthetics paired with an outstanding provenance—this is the type of Illinois fluorite collectors spend years searching for. With a custom base from @sunnywoodcollection #IllinoisFluorite #MinervaMine #FluoriteCollector #Barite 22sGEMS
