Cubic crystals of galena measuring to 1.3 cm on edge, these mostly coated with crystallized golden marcasite, across the top of matrix. In good condition with very minimal chipping along the edges of the piece only. Quite nice for this Australian locality. The matrix consists of banded schalenblende.
