Item Description

Two incredibly intricate spinel-twinned galena crystals form a dramatic and aesthetic specimen from this well-known Madan sulfide mine. The highly lustrous, metallic crystals are composed of a myriad smaller melted-look crystals and the striking pair look like "ears", when viewed from either end. A fascinating and very fine 360-degree specimen from the Paco Gutierrez Collection.
