Item Description
Splendent, intergrown, metallic-gray, cuboctahedral galena crystals to 8 mm are festooned on this sculptural, undulating specimen. The galena crystals rest on lustrous dolomite rhombs on this excellent CABINET specimen from the famous Sweetwater Mine. Large Sweetwater specimens with concentrations of smaller, sharp galena cruystals, such as this, are relatively uncommon. Ex Zukowski Collection.
