Item Description
Sharp, brilliant metallic, spinel-twinned, galena crystals to 9 mm are very attractively clustered along the crest of this sculptural specimen from the famous Naica Mine of Mexico. Lustrous, tiny, dogtooth calcite crystals nicely compliment the galena crystals on the drusy quartz matrix peppered with tiny pyrites. The calcite fluoresceses a vivid pink! Excellent combination material from this famous locale.
