An excellent example of the famous knitted galena (gestrickter Bleiglanz or strickblende) in an yellow-brown coloured schalenblende matrix. A very rich, unusual large and unusual light coloured piece of this mineral from the Fossey Mine. Collected on the dumps near the Luise Adit in the mid-1970's. (probably from the Lindengraben ore-body).

Cut and polished on one side, the backside is not sawn.

A great classic piece.
