Galena w/ Fluorite & Pyrite (old classic) Belsky Coll.

Item Description

Scintillating, tiny, colorless, lustrous, gemmy/translucent fluorite cubes cover the intergrown cluster of galena octhedrons on this showy, old-time combination ore specimen from this famous and ancient lead, zinc and fluorite orefield. Scattered preferential clusters of tiny, brassy marcasite crystals add color and pizzazz. This uncommon combination probably dates to the 1800s. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
