Fluorite (beautiful color) with Galena and Geocronite

Item Description

A lovely miniature from the recent find at the Milpo Mine in Peru. This attractive display specimen hosts a predominant, cubic crystal of Fluorite measuring 2.7 cm across, with a bit of additional Fluorite on the side, which has an attractive saturated blue-green hue, associated with metallic silvery-grey Galena and minor Geocronite. The color of the Fluorite is both saturated and almost pastel at the same time, if that makes sense, and it really glows with color when backlit. The back edge is not 100% complete, but the piece displays quite well and looks beauiful from the front. The rare Geocronite associated is was really makes the piece special as this rare lead antimony sulfosalt is hard to find in such rich examples like this, let alone with beautiful Fluorite!
