Description

This very particular Galena crystallization come from the very old locality of Vromopoussi, located at the northern part of the Lavrion mining district. Distinct intergrown cubes with step hollow formations inside of them on contrasting gossan altered but solid matrix! These crystals come or, more accurately, were coming out of this specific small mining area, at the outskirts of Lavrion, typically crystallized this way and quite different from the Kamariza area Galena, a few kilometers further south, which was huge crystallized Galena veins. Excellent and rare specimen from a very old find!
