Item Description

Highly lustrous, metallic-gray, galena cubes to 3.3 cm are very jauntily set on sculptural matrix richly covered with smaller, lustrous, galena octahedrons and a sprinkling of dolomite rhombs on this showy, excellent and uncommon specimen from the famous Sweetwater Mine of the Viburnum Trend. Seldom do you see galena cubes and octahedrons on the same specimen. The galena cubes are in excellent shape, with only one very trivially bruised corner. Choice and classic material from the Larry Krause Collection.
