Item Description
Native lead in any form is extremely rare. This old, classic and sculptural specimen is from the most famous locality for lead crystals - Langban, Sweden. A large, 1.1 cm, subhedral crystal is aesthetically set on smaller crystals, which on one side have the appearance of ropy Kongsberg wire silvers. Very nifty. This fine old-time thumbnail specimen from the Dick Jones Collection. Valued at $300-400 as such crysatllized examples are rarely available
