This is unique specimen combining lustrous Galena, Chalcopyrites and Quartzes. From the only mine that produces stepped Galena habit of that kind this is a very attractive arrangement of stacked and aligned Galena forming a terraced structure. Excellent parallel growth of cubs and elongated tetragonal prisms on different axes. This Galena structure is well isolated and grown on Quartz base. In the base is seen incrustation of innumerous isolated and shiny golden-yellow Chalcopyrites. Some Quartz scepters stand freely and add a nice accent to the specimen. Sphalerite tetrahedrons are present too. In superb condition.

One of a kind – it is a super chance to find this!
