A substantial combination specimen from the Lindao silver-lead-zinc deposit featuring deep violet cubic fluorite crystals intergrown with metallic pyrrhotite and pale botryoidal calcite. Multiple fluorite cubes display rich purple zoning with translucent interiors and visible internal structure. The crystals are embedded in a contrasting cream calcite matrix, creating strong visual separation between the fluorite and associated sulfides. Metallic pyrrhotite crystals are distributed across the specimen, adding structural interest and mineralogical complexity. Specimens from this Inner Mongolia locality are recognized for their distinctive fluorite-sulfide associations and bold color contrast. Material from the Lindao deposit is increasingly limited, and well-balanced combination pieces with multiple mineral species are sought after by collectors. This example presents a dynamic composition with depth, mineral diversity, and strong locality character. Locality: Lindao Ag-Pb-Zn Deposit, Inner Mongolia, China Minerals: Fluorite, Pyrrhotite, Muscovite (on Calcite matrix) Cabinet-size mineral specimen One-of-a-kind
