Item Description
A 4.0 x 2.9 x 2.3, lustrous, battleship-gray, galena crystal is aesthetically set in very vuggy matrix of sparkly, marcasite microcrystals on this showy and excellent specimen from Centerville, Missouri, in the heart of the famous Viburnum Trend. The galena cube has been partially eaten away by marcasite, giving a striking appearance to the piece. Centerville hosts two, well-known Viburnum Trend mines, the Fletcher and West Fork. Ex George Feist Collection # 2834.
