Item Description

Brilliant silver-metallic luster on this striking sharp modified galena cube with a beveled edge from the Borieva Mine of the well-known polymetallic deposits at Madan, Bulgaria. The contacted areas and faces of this sculptural piece add to the allure of this showy small cabinet from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection. An unusual cubic galena form from the locale, as many specimens are cuboctahedrons or spinel twins.
