|
|
I purchased this fluorite and did some digging on Mindat and other sources to find the locale. Everything pointed to Hardin but in this forum I saw a fluorite from the Jan Buma collection that looked exactly the same. I will share the pics below.
| Mineral: | Fluorite |

Here is the Fluorite from Mr Fabre's collection that looked similar to the one I have from the Former Jan Buma collection.

| At the moment, I would just say 'USA' as it needs more work to find out where it is from. The remnants of matrix on the rear might help narrow it down.

| Considering the photo of the backside I agree, it looks like a piece from Cave-In-Rock in Illinois.
