Item Description

Mineral specimens from this noted English locale, that closed in 1931, are uncommon on the market. This showy and excellent combination piece is highlighted by two, intergrown, lustrous, metallic-gray galena cubes surrounded by glassy, translucent, bi-colored fluorite cubes to 3.4 cm. The galenas are pristine in two display views. Classic, old-time and uncommon combination material from the Russell Jones Collection. Rich purple fluorescence, as you would expect.
