Fluorite on Sphalerite

Unknown Owner
A pristine focal crystal of fluorite perched on crystalline sphalerite matrix. Great luster on both species and sharp terminations. A nice phantom in the fluorite as well as unique surface texture and a tiny calcite on one face. There are some very minor dings to the sphalerite. A fantastic miniature combo from a classic US locale. Ex. Mel Bersch
