Item Description

A very RARE and showy combination from this obscure South Africa locale. Sharp, lustrous, battleship-gray, galena octahedrons, to 1.4 cm, are aesthetically clustered on the edge of the blocky, sparkly, granular magnetite matrix (magnetic). A thin siderite crust covers the magnetite, which is peppered with nifty, translucent, bulb-shaped, honey-brown siderite crytals. A MUST for the locality or species collector.
