If not one of the best known colors from Illinois, it is certainly among the most beautiful. This glorious light blue is such a cool, pleasant color - even among the common pastels of Fluorite this one always catches the eye. An exceptional Illinois stone, this gem has the added allure of being cut by the famed Ben Kho, a many times multiple award winning cutter. A very few thin veils can be seen, though largely hidden in brilliance - this is a very large piece and with this color and cut, has a presence that is far in excess of its price level. It is now largely cost prohibitive to have Fluorite cut at this level of precision.
