Galena with Fluorite

Unknown Owner
An impressive large cabinet old timer from England with semi lustrous crystals of galena measuring to 3.5 cm in size scattered across the top of an Ironstone matrix with green crystals of gemmy fluorite. The backside of the piece is mostly covered with fluorite crystals. This is in remarkably good condition considering the size of the piece and number of crystals present. The fluorite is brightly fluorescent.
