Item Description

A large and VERY impressive Naica galena, not from the recent finds of galena, fluorite and sphalerite, but from old mining at this classic locality. Dozens of wonderfully-formed, splendent cuboctahedral crystals, sharp as can be - attractively cover the sculptural, 3-dimensional matrix. In outstanding condition, for a large piece. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection # 72. Fairly valued at $1000.
