Item Description
Attractively intergrown, sharp, lustrous, battleship-gray, galena cubes, to 2.9 cm, have nifty fortification features and are aesthetically set on the chert matrix plate. The back of the piece is covered with rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The modest bit of bruising to the cubes is noted, but is certainly only a minimal detraction to this showy and classic old-time specimen from the Tri-State District. Ex Dr. Gary Hansen Collection.
