An excellent example of the "fortification style" or galena epitaxial on galena. The brilliant, battleship-gray, second-generation, octahedral galena crystals encrust the large galena cube and give these totally incredible, maze-like patterns. The large octahedron on the right side is superbly hoppered. The front and all sides are pristine, with only the back being contacted. This classic, old-time and aesthetic galena specimen is from the historic Picher Field, Tri-State District, Kansas and the Feist Collection, # 3016. George assembled significant Tri-State and Viburnum Trend collections and this is an excellent example.
