More than 10 years old, this find was possibly the best galena we've seen from Bulgaria, in terms of sharpness of form of crystals and defenitely the mirror luster and much more...This is a fine miniature of two sharp, sceletal, cubic crystals of galena on quartz matrix! The crystals have very high luster, almost maximum for the species, and textbook form!
