Item Description

Unusual, lustrous, rounded, gray metallic, galena octahedrons, to 1.1 cm, are richly and attractively clustered in the concave vug lined with scintillating, metallic-gray boulangerite on this showy and excellent large combination specimen from the famous Stari Trg Mine of Kosovo. Boulangerite specimens of this richness and quality are very uncommon from this noted locale. The back is nearly totally matted with tiny boulangerite needles, as an added bonus. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and formerly in the H. Westenberger Collection, according to Bob's label.
