Skeletal Galena on Sphalerite

Item Description

These incredibly elegant hollowed-out galena crystals were the surprise hits at both of the recent Denver and Munich shows. They formed from a natural process of etching and are thus termed "skeletal" crystals. The two hollows on the stretched galena cube look just like two, side-by-side, open pit mines on the well-balanced matrix of lustrous, black sphalerite crystals! The adjacent galena crystal has a distinctive melted look. Truly dramatic and unusual! This is an EXCELLENT specimen. The mine is closed. Expect no more.
