And yes, yours is a geode I collected in Hamilton, IL. I've been going out there once a year for the last few years and what a great time. So now you have a a famous Keokuk geode of your own. Gorgeous piece! @caldigger dolomite with apophyllite inclusions? Or stibnite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTinNorthAB Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We came home to a package from the always wonderful @Tidgy's Dad! I absolutely love it! I definitely don’t have a piece of fluorescent fluorite and definitely not one with such history (haha) My 3 year old thought it was “super awesomely cool” to see it glow under UV light. Thank you so much!! ((p.s. I hope your trade makes it to you soon)) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Very nice! Can you take a picture of it glowing under UV? @VTinNorthAB I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those times where the photo doesn't do due justice to the rich , subtle and varying colours of this specimen. My postal outgoings are pretty fast right now Hmmm; hopefully yours will be here soon, incoming seems much slower for some reason. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

It has blue and green hues to it that look like it floats below the surface. When I can figure out what’s wrong with my camera (and not my phone)...I will take a better photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Well, though my trade hasn't got here yet, and I'm sure it will, I'm open to another trade if anyone wants to play with me. I doubt I'll be sending flourite again, maybe a fossil this time, maybe not. Anyone? 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
