Item Description

A LARGE CABINET-sized, three-dimensional cluster of spinel-twinned galena crystals with that rare and prized "melted" look we sometimes get from here. These are bizarre crystal forms, with really impactful symmetry, when seen in person! Terminated quartz crystals accent one side of the specimen. Most of the crystals are somewhat tabular in nature, and they combine to form mesmerizing, complex clusters that look like cityscapes. This is a VERY impressive and impactful large specimen from old finds here. Valued $1500. 1480 grams.
