Item Description
Dal'negorsk has produced some of the world's finest sulfide specimens and this is an impressive and aesthetic, two-sided galena combination small cabinet. The galena is a super-sharp, splendent and robust, spinel-twin. One side has striking fortification features with the "melted look" at the base. The other side has a large, lustrous, partially bruised, golden, chalcopyrite crystal attached. The end view is also noteworthy. Classic and most excellent combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this fine and shapely galena at $300, five or more years ago.
