Sharp, brilliant metallic, spinel-twinned galena crystals to 9 mm are very attractively clustered along the crest of this sculptural specimen from the Naica Mine of Mexico. Lustrous, tiny, dogtooth calcite crystals nicely compliment the galena crystals on the drusy quartz matrix peppered with tiny pyrites. The calcite displays a vivid pink fluorescence. Excellent combination material from this famous locale.
