Description

First of all: photography doesn´t make justice to this piece at all. The galena shows mirror like luster and faces show amazing texture. This crazy luster is not visible on photos, also I was not able to show the tridimensional assemble of the specimen. The large main crystal is set on brownish thin quartz crystals. Again - very good quality and much better in person! In fine condition damage-wise.
