TXM61XXX: A group of light violet Fluorite crystals, well arranged on the matrix and displaying a particularly attractive luminosity. The crystals show well-defined faces and form a balanced group, leaving part of the Galena matrix visible and partially covered by abundant Cerussite crystals. Although the Cerussite occurs as small crystals, its presence is notable and adds further mineralogical interest to the specimen, which combines an elegant appearance with a delicate color.

The Fluorite and Cerussite formed in the oxidation zone of the deposit. The Cerussite resulted from the alteration of primary lead minerals and is a characteristic association in this type of mineralization, although it does not always occur as abundantly as in this specimen.
