GALENA SPHALERITE SPECIMEN
Check out this amazing Galena Sphalerite specimen. Definitely one for the hard core metallers! A solid matrix of cubic Galena with beautifully terminated Sphalerite throughout. This is my idea of a mineral specimen. These two minerals have been main players throughout history, Galena for its Lead and Sphalerite for Zinc. Both have all sorts of interesting associations, especially from this locale. Zinc is often associated with fluorescent minerals too. Amazing stuff. This specimen will delight some lucky collector and be an interesting piece for any collection. RocknCrystals have a supreme selection of metal specimens to choose from, so you’ve come to the right place.
