Item Description
A showy and very fine galena and sphalerite combination specimen from Naica and the Dick Heck Collection. Splendent, metallic-gray, galena crystals are intermixed with lustrous, jet-black sphalerite crystals on the undulating piece. The striking, spinel-twinned, tabular galena is 2.7 cm across and some of the galenas have very unusual stepped-growth faces. Uncommonly fine combination material. Valued at $600.
