This LARGE and very impressive galena specimen still has the label from a previous dealer for $695, and you can see why. All along one edge are these big, super-sharp and beautifully formed galena crystal (to 3 cm), with a fine metallic luster. They are attractively set off by a field of quartz crystals that were selectively coated (on one side, that is) by a later generation of creamy microcrystals. You can display this piece as shown, or with the galena crystals in front and the field of quartz crystals in back, with their clear sides facing you and the microcrystals outlining them. Either way, a remarkable Eastern European combo specimen! 15.9 x 12.1 x 7.0cm
