Galena (ex Rob Smith Collection)

Item Description

For one of the more common sulfides worldwide, Galena was not seen in great quantity from Tsumeb. I have only seen a handful of decent Galena specimens in my life from this mine! This piece features one predominant silvery-grey colored cuboctahedron of Galena sitting atop cleaved Galena crystal matrix. Not a killer miniature, but a good reference specimen of this infrequently seen sulfide.
