Item Description

Pretty grape-purple, lustrous, translucent, fluorite cubes, to 1.1 cm, have beautiful crisp color-zoning on this rare old-timer from the Ross Lillie Collection # 0130. The limestone matrix is coated with very sparkly drusy quartz and is accented with RARE for this obscure mine altering galena. A very choice and rare combination. Ross' handwritten note on the back of his label says it all.
