Item Description

A superlative and colorful galena combination from the Pachapaqui District and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Lustrous, sharp, galena cuboctahedrons and cubes have gorgeous steel-blue iridescent faces accented with skeletal features. The dramatic 360-degree mounded specimen includes sparkly contrasting brassy pyrite and chalcopyrite and a nifty field of quartz points on one side. The coup de grace is the fantastic, machined-looking, 3.4 cm cuboct on the crest with surreal skeletal features. Pristine, except for the periphery wear at the base. Outstanding galena combination material from this locale.
