Good specimen displaying geometrical perfection by silver-metallic Galena with Chalcopyrite decoration. This sculpture sits on a crust formed by needle Quartzes. Excellent parallel growth of cubes and elongated tetragonal prisms. All Galenas are with truncated edges and some are twinned. Golden-yellow Chalcopyrite crystals sit attractively above. Chalcopyrite penetrates in the Galena cubes. Some black Sphalerites are seen too. In good condition – some nicks and contacts.

Quite attractive!
