Benstonite on Fluorite (Ref: 15.1-967-(SM3121))
Cave-in-Rock, Hardin County, Illinois, United States
67mm x 57mm x 46mm
minID: YDY-C8R
Benstonite in unusual distinct crystals clustered on Fluorite cubes. Ex Charles Noll collection, a choice example of this uncommon mineral that has always been a very desirable rarity from this region. The Fluorite cubes are also very sharp and clean with strong Fluorescence. These are only available from older collections and most are just a whitish coating on other minerals. This almost certainly came from the Minerva mine but the label does not give that specific detail so we leave this listed as Cave-in Rock only. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
