Splendent, striking, preferentially etched, cuboctahedral galena crystals with associated quartz form this fine cabinet specimen from Dal'negorsk, Russia. The prominent crystals are perched on the top of the piece. The large crystal is 2.5 cm. Some of the galena crystals on the back are even skeletal. There are even a couple of pyrrhotite crystals scattered about. This material came out in the early-mid 1990s.
