A fine specimen from the much less well-known West Fork Mine of Missouri's famous Viburnum Trend. The modified, cuboctahedral galena crystals have this incredible coating of supremely iridescent, peacock-blue and magenta. I have seen very few Viburnum Trend galenas with this unreal iridescence. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
