Item Description

The famous mines at Dal'negorsk are well-known for world class sulfide specimens and this is an outstanding and aesthetic example from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Splendent, sharp, parallel-growth, galena spinel-twins form a very artistic specimen and are fabulously accented by the 2.5 cm cuboctahedron in the front and the striking skeletal features on all sides. This is an exceptionally fine 360-degree specimen with just a bit of bruising along the top edge on the left side. Galena of this quality came out in the 1990s to early 2000s and is now longer available.
