FRESH OUT OF CLEANING… and it leveled up big time

FRESH OUT OF CLEANING… and it leveled up big time An absolute show! This Minerva Number 1 beauty just went through a proper cleanup with some of that old bitumen stripped away—and now it’s absolutely firing. The colors are way more open and alive… electric blues melting into deep violets with that golden zoning glowing through the core. That signature Illinois “blurple” is hitting even harder now.

From the legendary Minerva No. 1 Mine, this one checks every box—crisp cubic structure, insane glassy luster, and zoning that shifts and dances with every angle. Cleaning really unlocked what was hiding in there… and it shows.

Pieces like this from Minerva #1 are getting tougher to come by—especially with this kind of saturation and definition. Pure collector-grade fluorite with presence.

Illinois doing what Illinois does best.
