Item Description
A classic Galena specimen from Picher featuring sharp, well-formed, lead-grey colored cubic Galena crystals measuring up to 1.3 cm on edge with a few gemmy "Ruby Jack" Sphalerites on matrix. Not nearly as common on the market as they once were, and are easily some of the most well known US Galena specimens extant. The piece is in great shape overall with only minimal roughness. A wonderfully well-balanced display specimen with good quality crystals. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
