This is from older finds at Naica, not the more recent ones of fluorite with sphalerite and galena; you can tell by the different crystal form here, which includes really pretty stepped growth. The crystals have intense shiny-metallic luster. On one side of the specimen is a cluster of colorless fluorites and small scalenohedrons of calcite. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
