A huge specimen of galena matrix covered with gemmy, pastel-green crystals of fluorite. The fluorite crystals are to 2 inches, 5 cm. They are very transparent, deeply gemmy so that you can see into them to the matrix an inch or so underneath. The coverage is all around the specimen, 360-degrees, up and over all sides. A beautiful accent of jet-black sphalerite crystals hangs on one side. Weighs 1.5 kilograms. A major example from the 2006 finds here.
