Item Description
An outstanding, brilliant metallic-gray, galena cube nicely accented with marcasite and dolomite from the West Fork Mine of Missouri. Complete all-around, this textbook cube is nearly pristine, with only trivial edgewear and out of sight contacting on the back. There is even a 1.2 cm, amber, calcite scalenohedron embedded on one side. A huge tonnage of galena has come from the Viburnum Trend, but for its size, the quality of this piece is at the top of the charts. The luster is superlative! Ex Wes Parker Collection and valued at $400-500. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
