Item Description
A 2.6 cm classic, slightly modified / "built up" cubic Galena crystal with sharp, lustrous faces and great form which is associated with reddish brown Sphalerite on matrix. Not nearly as common on the market as they once were, and are easily some of the most well known American Galena specimens extant. The piece can be displayed from many angles, and is in great shape overall. A wonderfully well-balanced display specimen with a good quality crystals. From the collection of Colorado collector, John Arnaud.
