Large Native Lead xls w/ Allactite (rare & classic combo)

Item Description

Native lead is rare from anywhere and this famous deposit has produced arguably the world's finest crystallized examples. They are historic, and rare. Seldom we we get any larger ones in the market, today. This exceptional rarity hosts not only numerous euhedral (sharp) to anhedral (lumpy) native lead crystals, but many allactites including a 1.1 cm crystal of a lustrous, metallic grayish-brown allactite. Alllactite is a very rare anhydrous Mn-arsenate. Allactite specimens are RARE from Langban and this is an extremely rich piece overall with a larger crystal for the locale - though admittedly the large one seems cleaved or contacted (to my eye, though I am not 100% sure). The aesthetically placed cluster of euhedral lead crystals, to 7 mm, on the crown really sets this off this extremely rich and showy combination rarity. Valued at $2500 for richness, quality and combination rarity.
