Item Description
A classic Galena specimen featuring sharp, matte-luster cuboctahedra (some of which show excellent and rarely seen twinning) which measure up to 1.5 cm across, and are associated with small accenting Galena crystals plus Chalcopyrite and Quartz 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 good quality crystals. From the collection of Rich Kosnar, a great cabinet display specimen of this well-known material.
