Description

Superb piece of galena on chlorite included quartz matrix.

The crystals are tabular,razor sharp,mirror lustrous and show melted and skeletal growth!

They are nicely perched on the matrix in different directions.On the upper crystal there is point I suspect of being a tiny contact, but not sure.

Otherwise,it is visually pristine,with a combination of aesthetics and good crystals.
