Dramatic combination piece with colorless, lustrous and translucent, fluorite crystals to 2 cm across. They are intermixed with splendent, bright crystals of galena, some of which are spinel twins, to 2.5 cm across. Much better in person! This is a classic combination of species from Naica, but the presence of the spinel twinned galenas with the fluorite takes it up a level in interest
