Bright, light green colored cubic crystals of Fluorite cover both sides of this specimen. Some of the crystals are penetration twins. Similar to the more recently mined, nearby, Rogerley mine material but a lighter, more attracitve. A few rounded Galena crystals are present showing some partial pseudomorphing to either Cerussite of Hydrocerussite. Micro druze Quartz is alos present in the matrix.
The specimen is in good condition but the largest crystal on the bottom of the specimen is incomplete.
