Description

An excellent lustrous galena cube stands perched on top of a finely dusted chalcopyrite stem. Galena is in near mint conditions and features a partial iridescent tarnish. Associated, a white calcite crystal adds further color contrast to the specimen, plus confirms the classic paragenesis from this US locale.
A lovely miniature from the former collection Lehmann (CH), assembled end of the 80s - early 90s.
