Ex. Martin Jensen Collection
Superb and very aesthetic specimen featuring sharp purple fluorite crystals and lustrous galena crystals both perched on a mound of crystallized sphalerite from the Denton mine in southern Illinois. What gives this specimen an extra “pop” is the perfectly-placed galena crystal on top of the largest and most central fluorite crystal- just beautiful! From the noted collection of Martin Jensen.
