Item Description

An impressive example of a Tri-State classic, of very sharp galena cubes aesthetically mounded on the thin matrix plate. The striking, splendent capping crystal measures 3.3 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm. The sculptural architecture of this piece is outstanding. The piece is very nearly pristine, with only the mosty trivial of corner wear. The underside hosts a sprinkling of classic, partially gemmy, rubjack sphalerite crytals. This is classic older, Kansas Tri-State material from a more obscure district from the Bob Trimingham Collection.
