Item Description

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. But the main attraction is, again, the unusually rich color of the fluorites.
