Iridescent Galena from Tsumeb

Item Description

String of superb, and rare, modified Galena dodecahedrons from the great Tsumeb Mine. These Galena crystals range up to .8 cm, and have a fabulous IRRIDESCENCE that is not often seen from anywhere. For all its wealth of lead ore, galena itself in crystals is quite rare here, and hard to obtain. This is AESTHETIC< also, and Charlie Key prized it highly, dropping it in with his great rarities miniatures suite from Tsumeb. Associated with minute mimetites and tennantites. From Tsumeb, it becomes a killer specimen - rare and beautiful at the same time. Valued $500-750
