A SUPERB and RARE cluster of sharp, moderate lustrous, lead-gray, spinel-twinned galena crystals with a single, sharp galena octahedron from the famous Brushy Creek Mine of Missouri's Viburnum Trend. The vertical spinels are 4.0 cm across and the faces are dusted with marcasite. Very seldom available and this is a really good one. Ex. George Feist Collection.
