I am happy to have found this site ! I sometimes come across minerals specimens at local flea markets. I do my best to research them. I have dug for indian artifacts in the past,and old bottles. I enjoy seeing other peoples finds and sharing mine ! Thanks for having me ! I have added photo of a large Fluorite specimen I found last summer at market. I have taken it to local college to have verified. Yellow Fluorite,with blue Pyrite,and Dog Toothed Calcite. Weighs 9 pounds ! Any ideas on value ? or mine ? I think it could be from Hardin County Illinois ? Thank You !

Hey nickletuck, Welcome to the board.
I saw your post earlier about this piece of flourite and I'm sorry I can't help much.
From the pic the pyrite looks like the nicest feature of this piece of "spar".
The pyrite is probably going to be what helps you ID the source of the material.
Can't really judge value from the picture.

Good hunting, Joe
