Description

Big glossy quartz crystals - most of them double-terminated - on a massive cluster of galena crystals, partially encrusted with a layer of greenish-yellowish microcrystals (probably mimetite-pyromorphite-series).

Unfortunately some quartz crystals show some dings.

I had to dim the lights to make the edges visible.
