Galena, Sphalerite, Quartz & Siderite (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

Splendent, sharp, metallic-gray, cuboctahedral galena crystals to 4.0 cm are nicely complimented by: a field of lustrous, jet-black, sphalerite crystals along one edge; two pods of light brown siderite blades; and a scattering of glassy, translucent quartz points, many of which, are sceptered! This is very fine, showy, essentially pristine and uncommon combination material from the famous Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dalnegorsk. Seldom available in this combination quality.
