Fluorite, Galena, Sphalerite, Pyrite & Calcite from Illinois (Ref: WM22-DENT)
Denton Mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
85mm x 99mm x 63mm
This is an incredible combo from the famous Denton Mine in Illinois! At the bottom is a large, shiny galena crystal, and on top of that is a cluster of purple fluorite cubes. On the fluorite is some golden pyrite and some very gemmy red sphalerite. The purple fluroite cubes have a stepped crystal growth pattern, and the largest cube on top measures 3.3cm wide. As an extra bonus there is a small calcite crystal on the back of the galena, so this combo has 5 different minerals! It also appears that this specimen is a floater because we cannot find any contact points which are not recrystallized. The condition is excellent with no damage on the front of the fluorite cluster.Sorry. This specimen has been sold.
