Item Description

Splendent, metallic galena octahedrons with very nifty raised edges are strikingly accented with a rich peppering of glassy, tabular barite crystals on this wonderful mounded combination from this renowned locale. This style of galena crystals is uncommon from here. The matrix is solid galena. Rich ore. Choice material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
