Item Description

An exceptionally sharp, splendent metallic, complex galena cuboctahedron from the famous Sweetwater Mine. Every face on this outstanding 360-degree specimen is visually enhanced by the striking stepped-growth. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. Contacted edges, where other crystals once, have no damage, per se and have no impact to the overall superior quality of this rare style galena from the Dr. Gary Hansen dealer stock. It dates from the 1970s to early 1980s. Classic and uncommon style Sweetwater Mine galena with multiple display possibilities.
