Item Description

Splendent, metallic-gray, galena cuboctahedrons accented with nifty stepped-growth faces are richly and attractively scattered among starkly contrasting golden chalcopyrite crystals on the sculptural mounded matrix. The galena crystals reach 2.9 cm across. Scattered sprays of small quartz points are a fine contrast, complement and typical accessory. The interior is pristine on this very showy piece. It looks like material from the 1990s. The world-class polymetallic skarn deposits at Dalnegorsk are famous for sulfides, calcite, fluorite and many other species and this is an excellent combination example of galena and chalcopyrite with quartz. Choice and classic material from the Colin Manlove collection.
