Illinois royalty with serious history

Illinois royalty with serious history

An absolutely killer Denton Mine fluorite showing that classic Cave-in-Rock look—deep violet edges framing a glowing golden core that lights up like stained glass when backlit. The cubic structure is stacked and layered, with intricate natural etching across the faces giving it that signature “mapped out” texture collectors love.

And the pedigree? Next level.

Ex. Harris Precht Jr. Collection, originally acquired from Rick Russell in the early 80’s… a true old-school piece with documented history and untouched character from the golden era of Illinois fluorite mining.

Fluorite with chalcopyrite, size and presence to match the story—this is the kind of piece that checks every box: color, structure, locality, and provenance.

Doesn’t get much more classic than this.
