Fluorite on Galena with Sphalerite

Tri-State District, Missouri-Oklahoma-Kansas

3cm x 2.7cm x 2.2cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique example of fluorite on galena from Tri-State!!! This speicmen consists of a cubic galena crystal that hosts a rich showing of curiously formed fluorite crystals!!! The galena crystal has bright metallic luster with complexly stepped features and modifications!!! The fluorite crystals have rich golden color and gemmy clarity!!! Although they might appear from a distance to be something other than fluorite, they are absolutely fluorite crystals!!! The fluorite crystals have highly complex cubo-octahedral habits that almost appear rounded!!! Upon close inspection one can see that the fluorite crystals have fine crystalline details and striations!!! The crystals have a very lively appearance due to their gemmy clarity and the reflective surface of the underlying galena!!! This specimen is in fantstic condition and displays gorgeously in person!!! This specimen retains a Fred Jones Collection - Franklin Mineral Museum label as well!!! While galena specimens from Tri-State are common, fluorite specimens are seldom encountered, however this unique old time specimen is labelled as coming from Tri State!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
