Item Description

This is a beautiful galena, measuring up to 2.3 cm atop of the specimen, which has a highly lustrous, stunning, layered striation associated with classic "Blanchard Blue" fluorite crystals. Fine galena is rare for this location and, when found, tends to be altered and ugly. This is sharp, nice, and remains unaltered! It is a great locality piece. Backlighting the fluorite reveals a nice surprise. Both galena crystals and fluorite are staples from this mine. Ex. Jingnan (Tom) Zhang Coll.
