Item Description

An amazing, iridescent, peacock-blue with magenta highlights galena octahedron is jauntily perched on silicified limestone matrix on this shocking specimen from the less well-known West Fork Mine of Missouri"s Viburnum Trend. The super-sharp crystal is 2.3 x 2.2 cm, pristine and looks just like a very colorful Mayan pyramid! This is a VERY RARE habit of coloration for galena. Outstanding material from this uncommon locality. Ex Wes Parker Collection. Valued $400-500
