Item Description

An amazing two-sided galena specimen from this well-known Madan sulfide mine. Striking, large parallel-growth spinel-twinned galena crystals dramatically rest upright of the section of a large galena cube. The brilliant, silver-metallic spinels have fabulous, dense stepped-growth faces on both sides. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, the one cleaved end edge is barely noticeable and is certainly only a modest detraction to this very fine, sculptural and exotic galena. BETTER IN PERSON!
