The Auglaize Quarry has produced many fine fluorite specimens, few more beautiful than this one. A transparent, very lustrous crystal of nearly colorless fluorite, 2.3 cm across, has a rich, lavender core, giving this specimen ethereal beauty. Being perched on matrix is an added bonus to the color zoning. Absolutely a world class miniature! These were highly sought after in the Ohio community when I was growing up and to my knowledge, few outside the locals have pieces like this (which Ed obtained from one of my own mentors, Ohio field collector John Medici) .
