Description

A fantastic, completely transparent light blue Fluorite octahedron with floating golden chalcopyrite and pyrite inclusions. This type of material was made by local miners in Illinois many years ago from solid Fluorite using a small chisel.
Similar material comes in large quantities from China, but I have never seen this fascinating blue color from there.

From tip to tip the distance is about 5 cm.
