Excellent geometry for this Galena- Sphalerite specimen. Stacked and aligned Galena overgrowing each other. Parallel grown cubes and elongated tetragonal prisms on different axes. They consecutively grow one atop another forming terraced structure. It is shiny and light reflective with good luster. Black Sphalerite octahedrons grow above. They have good luster and some are twinned. The final accent are small, some bi-terminated, Quartz crystals. Nice arrangement from many angles. In very good condition – some small nicks.

Choice specimen from the only mine that makes these structures!
