Absolutely superb geometry for this Galena specimen. Stacked and aligned Galena 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. One yellow Pyrites cube give awesome finish. Some small Quartz crystals add good accent. Truncated Sphalerite tetrahedrons form the base. In very good condition – some small nicks.

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