Cave-in-Rock, Cave-in-Rock Sub-District, Illinois - Kentucky Fluorspar District, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
7.2 x 7.0 x 5.6 cm. Fine galena specimens from the Southern Illinois Fluorite District are not all that common. This large group of stepped galena crystals, to 5.25 cm across, is a floater! It is somewhat elegant with a slightly curved form to it. It has good luster with a battleship-gray color. Sprinkled on the galena are a few subhedral crystals ... |

Cave-in-Rock, Cave-in-Rock Sub-District, Illinois - Kentucky Fluorspar District, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
A large dullish lead-gray grouping of stepped galena crystals, almost complete all around, without matrix. This is very, very large for crystallized galena from Cave-in-Rock! Overall I think in great condition damage-wise. Measures 9.0 x 6.6 x 6.2 cm in size overall. Ex Gene Tribbey collection #321 with data card dating the specimen to 1964. |
