Fluorite, Galena
Naica Mine, Naica, Mun. de Saucillo, Chihuahua, Mexico
Miniature, 4.8 x 4.2 x 3.5 cm
SOLD
A beautiful, soft green color, gem quality, sharp, lustrous, intergrown cubic crystal group (in the form of an octahedron) of fluorite sitting atop lustrous, contrasting metallic grey cuboctahedral galena crystals on matrix. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually about 30 years ago (late 1970s). The fluorite crystal group measures 1.4 cm across, and for the quality, association, and overall aesthetics, it is a fine little miniature from this incredible mine. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
