Item Description
Please Note: This specimen weighs nearly 2 kg (almost 4.5 lbs) and there will be an additional shipping charge to the winner. It's a very attractive and well-crystallized cabinet display specimen from Joplin featuring many sharp, lustrous to matte, metallic grey stacked cuboctahedra of Galena with minor pink "saddle"-shaped rhombohedra of Dolomite with a minor sprinkling of Chalcopyrite. There's even a bit of host rock in the center of the specime. The largest Galena measures 4.5 cm, and other than a few minor areas, the piece is in very good condition overall. All of the Galena crystals are complete, and there are no huge glaring cleavages anywhere.
