Absolutely superb morphology for this Galena, Chalcopyrite, Sphalerite combo specimen. Stacked and aligned Galena overgrowing each other. They grow in parallel cubes on different axes. Galenas are shiny and light reflective with matt faces. Many cubes have parallel truncated corners and are twinned. Black Sphalerites and yellow Chalcopyrites intergrow with the Galena and make excellent formation of mutual intergrowth, replacement and penetration – really amazing. In very good condition – some small nicks and imperfections.

Outstanding!
