Absolutely superb geometry for this Galena crystals. Stacked and aligned Galenas overgrowing each other. Excellent parallel growth of cubes and elongated tetragonal prisms on different axes. They consecutively grow one atop another forming amazing skeletal structure. Shiny and light reflective. Black Sphalerite crystals add a nice accent. The base is formed by Quartz crystals. In very good condition – some small damages.

Excellent display specimen from the only mine that makes these structures!
