Waiting for tip-off and getting absolutely fired up

Waiting for tip-off and getting absolutely fired up…

Figured I’d pass the time with something else that knows how to put on a show.

This Rosiclare fluorite from the legendary Minerva No. 1 Mine is pure Illinois perfection—insanely glassy cubes drenched in electric violet saturation with glowing amber-gold interiors that seem to ignite from within. Every angle reveals another flash of color, another layer of zoning, another reason collectors have been obsessed with Rosiclare material for generations.

The luster on this one is ridiculous. The color is even better in person. One of those specimens that refuses to be ignored the second light hits it.

Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the Knicks to take the floor. Until then, this fluorite is carrying the energy.
