Item Description

Dozens of HIGHLY splendent, silvery, metallic cuboctahedra of Galena measuring up to 6 mm are sprinkled over a layer of grey-white, micro crystallized Quartz on matrix. The piece was terribly difficult to photograph, and trust me, it looks better in person. The luster is so bright on the Galena crystals that we had to use a muted light source in order to shoot them. Great quality and excellent condition.
