Summary

Description
English: Fluorite, Galena, Quartz
Locality: Gibraltar Mine (incl. "Cave of Swords"), Naica, Municipio de Saucillo, Chihuahua, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 17.8 x 14.5 x 10.5 cm
Fluorite on Galena with Quartz
Over a dozen TRANSPARENT, gemmy, undamaged cuboctohedral crystals to 3 cm in size perch like mountainclimbers upon this mound of crystallized galena. The contrast is striking! The weight is also striking - probably over half a dozen pounds here. The association is CLASSIC for Naica, for old material. For this NEW find, it seems rather unusual as most of the associations are with sphalerite. Also, the rivulets of sparkling crystallized quartz running down the seams of the piece provide a nice accent and some sparkle...and are themselves unusual in the occurrence. The piece is large...so the pictures really have trouble conveying how impressive this is, and how starkly frog-eyed the fluorites look in person as they leap out at you from the contrasting galena. It is therefore much more 3-dimensional and impressive in person! Since its so heavy and so hard to photograph, I am making it $950 instead of $1950 as it probably should be to ensure i sell it and don't have to carry it around here at the office!
