Fluorite on Galena
Splendent crystals of galena, to 2.0 cm across, form the matrix for a cluster of gemmy, pastel green fluorite crystals, to 3.75 cm across. The fluorite cubes modified by octahedral faces exhibit the stepped growth for which Naica is famous. Only the slightest peripheral contact has been noted. This is a very nice example of what Naica can produce, and the spread-out physical arrangement makes it a lot of "bang for the buck" in terms of visual appeal. MORE colorful, MORE gemmy, in person. This piece actually has a pleasing green color that is better tha most here, fairly intense for Naica, that is dimmed in the photos because of the transparency of the large fat crystals.
