Marvelous skeletal Galena decorated by Chalcopyrite. Very attractive arrangement of stacked and aligned Galena overgrowing each other. Excellent parallel growth of cubes and elongated tetragonal prisms on different axes. They grow one atop another forming amazing terraced structure. All Galena cubes are with truncated corners and matt. Yellow Chalcopyrite crystals sit attractively among them. In very good condition – some small damages.

Splendid piece from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
