Description: Fluorite Locality: Gibraltar Mine (incl. "Cave of Swords"), Naica, Municipio de Saucillo, Chihuahua, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org) Size: small cabinet, 6.7 x 6.0 x 4.5 cm Fluorite Great aesthetics highlight this combination specimen with a matrix of fluorite. Aesthetically perched high on the galena is a single, glassy and gemmy, cuboctahedron of emerald-green fluorite, measuring 3.5 cm across. Wreathlike clusters of drusy, ivory-colored calcite surround the fluorite and accent it. The balance of the fluorite with the galenas also adds to make this a wonderful combination specimen for the locale, with most of its classic species on one piece. Ex. Dr. Miguel Romero Collection.
