Item Description

A classic group of very attractive, lustrous, sharp, well-formed, compressed "Spinel Law"-twinned crystals of octahedral Galena crystals with minor Dolomite. The largest crystal measures 1.3 cm. The color 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.
