An unusual and wonderful combination piece from this famous locality. A lustrous crystal of galena almost 4.0 cm on edge is set up on a crystallized cluster of attractive purple lustrous fluorite crystals. Brilliant red small crystals of gemmy sphalerite are scattered throughout. Colorless casts of barite replacing previous blocky crystals of Celestine to 0.9 cm on edge are present as well. In super condition. This was collected in the latter part of the 1980s.
