Galena

A heck of a combo specimen. It is not common to find nice galena from Elmwood with fluorite, and even less common to have calcites with it. The galena has great luster, the fluorite is a complete cube with great zoning, the calcite is doubly terminated. A veritable jewel of a specimen. I was very pleased to get this specimen from the Mel Bersch collection.
