FL2-4 Fluorite -
Denton Mine, Hardin Co., IL; 7 x 7 cm Another
nicely zoned yellow purple fluorite cluster. Minor damage to a few places. $80
|
 |
FL2-5 Fluorite -
Annabel Lee Mine, Hardin Co., IL; 9 x 6 cm Just
a nice clean deep purple group. $65 |
 |
FL2-9 Fluorite -
Annabel Lee Mine, Hardin Co., IL; 7.5 x 6 cm Nice blue (blue not purple in person) specimen would be much higher if not for
the chip visible in the lower front. I got it anyway because the blues are just so
hard to find. $60 |

FL2-10 Sphalerite
and Barite - Crystal Mine - Hardin Co., IL; 9 x 5 cm Dark crystals of sphalerite with a deep ruby color in bright
light are sprinkled all over the matrix. There are a few barite blades in
association. This piece came from a old collection put together before 1963 and was
self collected according to the catalogue. A good reference piece that comes from
one of the rarer mines to find a specimen from. The only piece I have in my
collection came from this same old collection. $12 |
 |
FL2-11 Galena and
Fluorite - Hardin Co., IL; 7 x 5 cm I think this one has to be from the Hill-Ledford Mine by looking at the matrix
but the label didn't say. Nice representative sample of this combination.
Minor damage to some corners. $40 |
 |
FL2-14 Calcite on
Fluorite - Denton Mine, Hardin Co., IL; 7 x 7 cm Attractive combination piece with the calcites nicely spread
about the fluorite. $70 |
 |
FL2-17 Bitumen on
Fluorite - Minerva #1 Mine, Hardin Co., IL; 4 x 3 cm This piece looks like black fluorite but it is actually a dark
purple coated with a shiny black layer of natural bitumen. Sharp crystal in
excellent condition would help fill out a suite. $15 |
  |
FL2-19 Barite on
Fluorite - Hardin Co., IL; 6 x 4 cm Sharp
arrowhead shaped barite crystal rises from a group of barite crystals sitting on a group
of dark purple somewhat dull fluorite crystals. Displays well with only a couple of
broken barite crystals. $30 |
 |
FL2-20 Fluorite and
Chalcopyrite - Annabel Lee Mine, Hardin Co., IL; 8 x 5.5 cm Unusual gemmy pale yellow color with pale blue outer zone
loaded with chalcopyrite inclusions. This one really stands out as being different
in a lot of Hardin County minerals and is more colorful in person. The funny color
in the corner is from and internal cleave that throws the lightwaves off. $120 |
