Description

Fluorite with calcite from the Gaskins Mine, Pope Co, Illinois. This deposit was worked originally by the Minerva Oil Company and then by the Ozark-Mahoning Company, as Fluorite is used in petroleum processing, and there is a substantial oil dome nearby. Some fluorite and quartz from this location is actually included with petroleum, the mine is defunct currently but the deposit was not worked out. Another photo from the 2014 Santa Ana Gem Show.
