Item Description

A very good representative Galena / Sphalerite from the famous Eagle mine in Colorado. The 9 mm cubic Galena crystal shows sharp faces and is aesthetically on black Sphalerite ("Marmatite") on matrix. It is a good reference specimen, and would make a fine addition to a Colorado suite, or even more specifically, a Colorado suite of sulfides. Mounted in a plastic box.
