Fluorite with Galena and Sphalerite, Annabel Lee Mine, Harris Creek Mining Sub-District, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
Size: 7.2x5.6x2.8cm
Species: Fluorite, Galena, Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite
Locality: Annabel Lee Mine, Harris Creek Mining Sub-District, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
Description: Saturated purple cubes with some pleasing digital growth textures sit on top of a layer of interlocked galena crystals. On top of the purple fluorite single isolated chalcopyrite crystals are perched. On the reverse of the specimen is a scattering of red/brown sphalerite crystals along with cubic galena crystals. Overall a really great specimen that shows off not only the fluorspar that was produced from the mines but several of the accessory minerals.
