Fluorite on Sphalerite

Unknown Owner
The main cube features a maltese cross pattern and excellent zoning. A smaller cube is perched on the back, and both sit on a matrix of dolomite crystals associated with sphalerite and very minor calcite. Specimen is in great condition with minimal corner wear. A fantastic example from a classic US locality.
