Extremely shiny and lustrous Galena specimen. Galena crystals are so mirror lustrous and light reflective that is difficult to look them on strong light. With very sharp geometry of the crystals and perfect penetration twinning. The cubes have truncated corners. On some faces are seen gas bubbles deformations. Some black and sharp Sphalerite tetrahedrons with truncated tips are seen too. In very good condition – some small nicks and side contacts.
Bedazzling Galena!
