Galena cuboctahedrons (excellent) Urish Coll.

Item Description

Splendent, intergrown, galena cuboctahedrons in a startling, geometric pattern form an outstanding miniature specimen from the famous mines at Madan. One large crystal is hoppered, which really adds character to this fine piece. Every turn or rotation presents a striking and beautifully different perspective to this excellent specimen. There are lots of galena from this district, but this one, in this size, certainly stands out above most of the rest in aesthetics. Ex Harold Urish Collection of Tucson.
