An old-time, highly unusually shaped galena specimen from the historic mines at Niederfischbach, Siegerland, Germany. This fine, old piece consists of a striking, complete all-around floret of sparkly, bubbly, botryoidal, grape-like galena. Smaller galena botryoids cover the thin crust of gossan matrix that the galena is attached to. For the locality and species, this is a super piece and is accompanied by an old label in German.
