Item Description

Incredibly nifty, sharp compound galena octahedrons look like metallic pyramids! They are very aesthetically scattered on the very thin sheet sulfide matrix covered with sparkly gray dolomite rhombs. The octos, to 1.7 cm, are beautifully enhanced by the iridescent coating of blue and gold bornite. Certainly one of finest and most unusual Sweetwater Mine galenas we have seen. Valued by the former dealer at $350 and worth it for unique quality.
