Large Lavender Blue Fluorite—A Member of the 100 Carats Club
HArdin County, Illinois
From old mine rough from Illinois, this large triangular-shaped stone is exceptional for its size and strength of color, and particularly its transparency. It would be difficult to imagine the size of the rough crystal from which this originated in order to realize a stone of this size. Faceted stones from this locality are rarely seen and this is an excellent example from an estate.
Weighing approximately 151.44 and measuring 36.0 x 32.0 x 23.0mm
