Item Description

A classic association specimen from the famous fluorspar mining district in Illinois. It features sharp, rich purple cubic Fluorites measuring up to 2.2 cm associated with cuboctahedral Galena plus jet black Sphalerite and Quartz on matrix. The largest crystal is mainly undamaged, but another crystal at the top of the piece is contacted on the back. A lovely color combo with good three-dimensional aesthetics.
