Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, metallic-gray galena cuboctahedrons to 1.4 cm dramatically grace the front of the large striking vuggy matrix covered with spherical aggregates of scintillating tiny siderite rhombs. The matrix is sparkly microcrystalline dolomite rhombs. Both siderite and dolomite are rare from this uncommon, but classic locale from Poland. This excellent and rare combination has just a few gently bruised galena crystals. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
