Item Description

A wonderful hefty cabinet display specimen featuring splendent, metallic, silvery colored, stepped compressed "Spinel"-Law twins of Galena with minor Quartz at the base. The larest Galena measures 3.0 cm on edge. Great quality all the way around, and better in person than the photos indicate! These specimens might be plentiful on the market, but they are still some of the finest quality Galenas from any modern locality, along with a lot of the material from the Madan area. PLEASE NOTE: This piece weighs 1,100 grams (about 2.3 pounds), so there will be an added shipping charge required for this piece, please keep this in mind when bidding. Valued at $950.
