Item Description
Splendent, metallic-gray, galena cuboctahedrons nicely accented with two clusters of milky quartz crystals and a couple of barely noticeable, small, gemmy, sphalerite crystals form a showy and very flashy mounded CABINET specimen from the famous mines at Madan. The large crystal, on the upper left is 2.7 cm (the only spinel-twin). Highly representative material from this noted locale.
