Calcite on Galena (ex Harold Urish Collection)

Item Description

An attractive miniature size specimen comprised of steel-grey cubic Galena which play host to sharp, golden scalenohedra of Calcite. The largest Calcite crystal (which measures 1.6 cm) at the top of the specimen is complete all the way around and virtually undamaged. The Tri-State District has produced some of the most prolific Galena specimens in the world, and the value of these specimens has steadily been on the rise in recent years. A piece like this would be very difficult to replace on the market today.
