Fluorite & Galena on Quartz cast after Fluorite (RARE) Dick Heck Coll.

Item Description

A dramatic and rare, casted CABINET specimen from Naica. Drusy quartz has casted three partial sides of a huge fluorite crystal! Sparkly galena crystals have preferentially coated four faces of the cast. And beautifully perched on one edge of the cast is a 2.2 cm cluster of water-clear, colorless, interpenetrating fluorite cubes. For the pseudo/casted specialist or locality collector, this is a one-off stunner. Outstanding material from the Dick Heck Collection. Probably 1970s-1980s vintage. Valued at $400-500.
