Description

An old time specimen from the Jose Rees collection, discrete individual crystals of bromian chlorargyrite crystals are scattered across a matrix of white druzy smithsonite.

The original galena has completely altered with some reminant red and orange lead oxides present, as well as unaltered cerussite.

The specimen has not seen a lot of light as the bromian chlorargyrite retains a reasonalble olive green colour and crystals in some of the crevasses are still quite yellow in colour.
