Galena and Chalcopyrite (Valade and Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

Showy and excellent combination material from the well-known Huaron District. Moderately lustrous, battleship-gray, galena cubes to about 5 mm are festooned on the hummocky and knobby quartz crystal matrix. A colorful accessory are the golden-brassy chalcopyrite sphenoidal twins. The many galenas are in great shape and there is actually very little bruising or periphery wear. Classic and desirable combo material from the late 1980s-early 90s production peak. Ex Vincent Valade and Robert Whitmore Collections.
