Item Description

A predominant 1.7 cm, very attractive, lustrous, sharp, well-formed, compressed "Spinel Law"-twinned crystal of octahedral Galena is surrounded by small silvery-white Dolomite rhombs all over. The color of the Galena is a rich silvery-grey "gun metal" hue with a lovely external patina. Hard to photograph, but good in person and really attractive for the material. I'm told that this is from a fairly new find (within the last few years), and is not older material.
