Well this is Not something you see cut everyday.

In fact, most cutters don't want to go near fluorite due to it's softness and ability to cleave in every direction.

These wonderful faceted Illinois Fluorite gems should be used for display, but I have seen some amazing pendants and earrings made similar stones.

This stone is a beautiful light blue color, can look lighter or darker depending on the viewing angle, can also pick up colors from it's surroundings. 

The stone is mostly eye clean, however there is one slight inclusions that can be visible depending on the viewing angle without magnification.

The inclusions could be a small chalcopyrite or a Bitumen inclusions, but is unknown.
