Description

Rich specimen featuring cubeoctahedral groups of galena up to 1 cm each, elegantly framed by golden pyrite/chalcopyrite groups. Galena is moderately lustrous due to the classic lead patina, typical for these specimens. The crystal shape is textbook and yet complex, with sharp edges, and quite pleasant to observe even with a 10x lens.

A true US classic, dated back to a few decades ago. 
Former collection Lehmann (USA).
