Item Description

An outstanding and pristine cluster of splendent, metallic-gray, interpenetrating, slightly modified, galena cubes is jauntily set on a plate covered with two generations of sparkly calcite rhombs on this old-time specimen from the famous Joplin Field and the George Feist Collection. The largest galena is 1.7 cm. Joplin galenas with this luster are rather uncommon and this is an excellent one.
