Galena & Quartz on Hedenbergite (Tony Potucek & Bruce Murphy Coll.)

Item Description

An elegant and very uncommon combination miniature from this well-known extinct Arizona mine. Lustrous, metallic-gray galena cubes with nifty modified corners and textured faces are aesthetically set among glassy quartz points on the hedenbergite matrix. The striking large cube is 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.3 cm and the interior of this very fine piece is pristine. Combination specimens of this quality are RARE from here. The piece was collected by Bill Hawes in March, 1987. Ex Tony Potucek and Bruce Murphy Collections.
