Item Description

Sharp, moderately lustrous, battleship-gray, galena octahedrons to 2.3 cm are very aesthetically clustered atop the sculptural chert matrix peppered with tiny, sharp sphalerite crystals. This exceptional combination old-timer is from a very obscure Oklahoma Tri-State District lead-zinc mine. Ex Robert Linck Collection, a prominent East Coast collector, who passed away in 1970.
