Item Description

A striking and aesthetic specimen of opposing parallel-growth clusters of splendent, "melted-look", spinel-twinned, galena crystals nicely accented with iridescent, golden-brassy, chalcopyrite sphenoids and some pyrite crystals. Excellent and classic combination material from the Herja Mine and the Robert Whitmore Collection.
