From the personal collection of dealer Dan Weinrich, who specializes in specimens from the Tri-State District - a superb and dramatic old galena specimen. The dominant crystal measures 2.8 cm along the edge. It has a fine gunmetal luster, and natural bevels on its corners (as do the smaller crystals). Small golden pyrites decorate the matrix around the galenas. As you can see, the galenas sit up just right on the matrix to make a truly aesthetic specimen. Dan sold this to George Feist over a decade ago. From the noted George Feist Midwest collection.
