Item Description

A classic cuboctahedral Galena specimen featuring crystals with sharp faces and great form which are associated with rhombic Dolomite crystals and sparkling metallic Chalcopyrite crystals. Not nearly as common on the market as they once were, and are easily some of the most well known American Galena specimens extant. The piece can be displayed from a few angles, and is in great shape overall. A wonderfully well-balanced display specimen with good quality crystals. The largest Galena measures 1.2 cm.
