Description

Significant drusy of grey galena cubes associated to lustrous, dark, complex sphalerite crystals from the classic locality of Joplin. The specimen is sizeable and it came this way from the former Potts collection (UK).

Striking color contrast. Quite sought-after in this size, it is a specimen of good quality with very minimal peripheral wear. Definitely showy!
