Hoppered Galena (Zukowski Coll.)

Item Description

Splendent galena cubes on sparkly, golden pyrite and quartz crystal matrix form a showy and excellent specimen from the famous Casapalca District of Peru. Many, but not all of the cubes have striking hoppered/stepped-growth/skeletal faces. Interesting chemistry here. Mirror-bright galena of this quality is uncommon from Casapalca and this is a fine example. Ex Zukowski Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
