Item Description
A gorgeous, 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 sweet little miniature from this incredible mine. The piece came from the well known collection of Richard A. Kosnar.
