Fluorite with Barite

This piece came from the Chet Lemansky collection and, although it has a fair share of chatters and small cleaves, it has wonderful phantoms, great color, and impressive presence. It is a complete floater. I would take a guess this i a Denton Mine piece, as the very smooth table-top surfaces, pin point hot spots and barite association are strong indicators.

Locality: Rosiclare Mining District, Cave in Rock, Illinois

Composition: calcium fluoride
