Item Description
From a major new find, this specimen hosts a 4-inch-long ridgeline of lustrous, pink fluorite octohedra, perched and piled one atop the other. They all sit on a galena rich matrix, and small galena crystals provide accent as well. BETTER IN PERSON, this is a fairly dramatic piece for the way the thick pile atop is presented
