Description

Hi All, this auction is part of a series of ‘Clear-out Minerals’ Clear-out auctions. This specimen and the majority of others on offer this have a starting price 50% or more lower than in all previous auctions. Happy bidding. Good transparent pale green fluorite crystals up to 2.0 cm across on a bed of galena with minor pyrite crystals. This specimen was difficult to photograph and the images do not show the clarity of the transparent fluorite.
