Galena, Pyrrhotite & Quartz

Item Description

The famous mines at Dal'negorsk are renowned for world classic sulfide specimens and this is very nifty two-sided combination small cabinet. Splendent sharp galena cuboctahedrons, to 1.9 cm, are aesthetically scattered on both sides of the tabular matrix, which is a compound pyrrhotite crystal. The well-placed quartz crystals at the base are a very fine accent. The striking front is nearly pristine, with only one gently bruised galena edge. The large galena is partially contacted, but has very little bruising. One dinged crystal is noted on the top of the back side. An elegant and classic combination.
