Description:Water-clear, very glassy, colorless, fluorite cubes cover the sculptural, mounded matrix of mainly bladed barite on this showy piece from the less well-known Emilio Mine of Spain. Sparkly microcrystals of sphalerite are richly and attractively sprinkled on or included in the fluorite cubes. Hefty for its size, due to the highly percentage of barite in the matrix. 289 grams.
