Item Description

Delicate and quite beautiful sprays of gemmy Linarite found on both Fluorite and Galena. The luster of the Linarite is superb, and to find any Linarite on Fluorite is quite rare here (or anywhere). These lustrous Linarites cover about 1.2 cm of the Fluorite. The spherical Fluorites range up to about 1.2 cm, and the Galenas about .5 cm. A very fine, and rare, toenail from a famous locality.
