Item Description

A showy, unusal and rare combination from this less well-known fluorspar-barite-Pb-Zn mine. Tightly intergrown, colorless, gem, fluorite cubes, to 1.3 cm, are coated-with or included-with, fibrous, acicular celestine. Such combinations are rare from here and this is an excellent, highly representative example. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
