Item Description

Many beautiful green color, GEM quality, sharp, lustrous, cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite associated with contrasting silvery metallic Galena. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually about 35 years ago (late 1970s). The largest Fluorite crystal group measures 2.4 cm across, and for the quality, associations, and overall aesthetics, it is a great small cabinet from this incredible mine. There are a few cleaves, but overall (especially on the display side), the piece is in great shape and really glows with color from the fact that the crystals are WATER CLEAR to the point where you can see straight through to the Galena underneath. Valued at $900.
