SOLD
An unusual specimen of fluorite, as this habit is rare for the locale. These robust, translucent, slightly pastel pinkish crystals are to 2.75 cm across. The fluorites are perched on a curving bit of quartz cavity that serves as host for a 2 cm galena crystal underneath. The galena is partially altered to anglesite, as are many from this locality. Interesting combination piece, overall. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
