Fluorite Purple Cubic Crystals XL Cabinet Unpolished Crystal Cluster Cave-in-Rock Illinois USA

This is a classic American specimen--a large "plate" of purple fluorite cubic crystals, from the venerable Cave-in-Rock District of Illinois, USA. It has exceptionally rich and dark color, a uniform shade of purple throughout the entire large cluster. Cubic crystals display etched, digital-looking faces with darker zones, with some edges of translucence at the corners. This cluster would be equally beautiful displayed flat as shown, or upright on a stand.
