What is remarkable about this specimen is that the fluorites have a sprinkling of small, rounded, sparkling crystals of what appears to be galena on them. They look almost like balls of mercury. This is extremely unusual, pointing to a lead-rich solution that flowed through the pocket after the fluorites formed.
