Description

Knitted galena or Strickbleiglanz, also aka gestrickter Bleiglanz or galene tricotee etc are well knwon from the Aachen-Stolberg ore district and are almost exclusive there - except a few other localities worldwide. This specimen is allegedly from the also carbonate hosted deposit of Reocin in northern Spain. (there is no old label with this one but i have two more specimens which had one common label). The galena shows a very interesting skeletal growth - a rare habit and a specimen which stems from the 19th century.
