Absolutely amazing and unique skeletal Galena cube. Displays very attractive stepped growth, forming gorgeous terraced structures on all faces. The Galena cube is lustrous, very sharp and has a geometrical perfection. Black Sphalerite octahedrons with lustrous faces and striations add a nice accent. They are gemmy and some are twinned. Yellow Chalcopyrite, brassy Pyrite and small Quartz crystals enrich the specimen. Displays beautifully on all sides. In excellent condition – some small nicks.
Exceptional specimen from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
