Item Description

A 2.0 cm, sharp, splendent, galena cuboctahedron is jauntily set on the end of hefty, microcrystalline siderite matrix on this showy old classic from Neudorf. The striations on the metallic-gray galena really add character. This classic crystal has only very slight edge wear. Rich ore at 324 grams. Old material, as the mines closed in 1903. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
