Item Description
A classic Galena specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, gun-metal grey color cubic crystals perched atop golden semi-botryoidal Marcasite with a selective deposition of sugary grey Quartz. 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.
