Item Description
A very strange looking and uncommon galena from the Cave-in-Rock District. This is a highly etched, highly tapered tower of grooved, stepped-growth galena cubes. The muted battleship-gray luster is due to the etching. The basal attachment shows the splendent galena cube form with a partial calcite crystal. Comes with a 1970s-80s Ron L. Sohn Minerals label. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. Weird and rare.
