Item Description
A wonderful association specimen of Fluorite with Galena from the famous Rogerley Mine in England. The piece is covered with gemmy/translucent, green cubic crystals, which have the characteristic violet purple overtones that are often best seen in sunlight and UV light. The largest Fluorite cube measures 1.1 cm on edge. Associated cuboctahedral Galena crystals which measure up to 6 mm can be seen on the piece as well, which is not terribly common in my experience with this contemporary classic material.
