Illinois fire in full force

Illinois fire in full force

An absolute stunner from the legendary Minerva No. 1 Mine, Cave-in-Rock—stacked with razor-edged cubes glowing in that iconic “blurple” zoning. Deep violet edges frame rich golden-amber cores, lighting up like stained glass when the light hits just right.

The layering on this piece is unreal… overlapping growth, sharp geometry, and that signature Illinois translucency that gives it insane depth and dimension. Every angle reveals a new pocket of color and structure.

Top-tier Minerva character with serious presence—getting harder and harder to find at this level.
