Fluorite with Sphalerite, Galena

Unknown Owner
Deep rosy purple translucent crystals of fluorite measuring to 1.0 cm on edge across the top of this crystallized sphalerite matrix with cubic crystals of galena. Slight damage present, this still in good condition. I would guess that this piece certainly dates pre-1980.
