Melted-look Galena w/ Arsenopyrite (Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

Check out the amazing architectural growth patterns of this lustrous, intricately hoppered galena specimen from Dalnegorsk! One wonders just what conditions in the pocket caused this ornate, melted-look modification. This is actually a very fine, two-sided, combination crust, with uncommon sharp, interpenetrating, arsenopyrite crystals and chalcopyrite and quartz crystals. Excellent, unusual and uncommon combination material from the Robert Whitmore Collection. Highly desirable for the species or locality collector. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
