This matrix specimen has fine aesthetics thanks to well formed lustrous galena crystals, to 2.5 cm in length, upon which are emplaced gemmy, pastel green fluorite crystals, to 3.0 cm across. The contrast of form and color with the galena MAKES the specimen. It is one of few with so dramatic a contrast. The fluorite crystals are cubes with modifying octahedral faces. In addition, there is a drusy crust of white quartz partially covering the lower boundary with the galena crystals for accent. Very nice combo!
