TOP GALENA SPECIMEN
Stunning Top Galena Specimen, very well formed and shiny. This is a really aesthetic piece with great shape, well formed crystals and glossy wet surfaces. The Crystals have formed Cubic shape with the corners missing forming a Cuboctahedron or Octacube. There is a small section of Truncated (stepped) Crystal Galena and a few small Quartz Crystals. I suspect there is a higher Silver content which helps create these glossy Crystals, amazing. A superb specimen from a premier location. Start or add to your own metals collection.
