Item Description

Native Lead in any form is extremely rare, but crystallized specimens are highly prized. Langban, Sweden is arguably the premier locality for this native element, and good specimens are few and far between. This piece features small but noteworthy modified gray plates of Native Lead on host rock matrix. Along with the rarity and the fact that it comes from one of the most prolific localities in the world, it is accompanied by a label from Topaz-Mineral Exploration in Grand Haven, Michigan along with another label from an undisclosed collection.
