Description

A very nice and undamaged large cabinet specimen: One major, free standing galena cube on fluorite/siderite matrix, with small octahedron faces.

The fluorites are lustrous with pale violet colour. Very strong blue longwave UV fluorescence.

Maybe a candidate for further cleansing, but I decided to keep the original rusty coatings.

Quite heavy, weighs 2,7 kg.
