Item Description

An uncommon and excellent "tabular" galena from the famous Denton Mine and the Ross Lillie Collection # 0573. The splendent sharp metallic-gray cube has a very interesting modified corner at the top and is beautifully accented with glassy color-zoned blue fluorite cubes at the base. The display face is nearly pristine, with just a bit of bruising to a right edge. Mined from the Main Orebody in 1982. Purple fluorite fluorescence.
