An OLD-TIME, showy combination specimen of lustrous, tan smithsonite crystals coating lustrous and translucent, lavender fluorite cubes to 1.7 cm on massive galena matrix from the Kentucky portion of the famous and now extinct Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District. SELDOM are Kentucky combo pieces of this quality and size available on the market. Very good 3-dimensionality. Essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery bruising. Ex. George Elling Collection.
