Fluorite, Galena, Quartz

Large Cabinet, 21.0 x 13.7 x 12.6 cm
SOLD
This is a huge matrix specimen of rich blue fluorites to 2 cm, perched on 3-dimensional massive quartz matrix. It was collected by claim owner Ray DeMark about 2 years ago, and from a special pocket of these rare, intense blue crystals you do not often see from this location. As a novelty, a nice sharp galena sits in the middle. Galena from here usually decays or alters to gray anglesite, and to find a sharp lustrous one, perched on the fluorite, is quite uncommon.
