Description

What a wonderful combination from Kosovo. Greenish matrix that is hosting several well defined, partially isolated and highly metallic lustrous crystals of galena as well as some golden lustrous chalcopyrite crystals inbetween. Those crystals are then covered in deep red tinted siderite crystals which gives an incredible fine visual impact to the specimen.
