Although common enough, truly fine galenas that have that extra form, luster, or style from this classic mining district are hard to get a hold of. This is a really showy, well-balanced specimen with sharp modified crystals to 4 cm on edge. They are cubes, with slight octohedral modifications on the tips. The piece, despite its size and weight, is nearly pristine with only a few trivial little dings or chips. It is 3-dimensional, and although heavy it is not "too heavy" for a specimen to go amongst other pieces. ex Ed David collection. Joe Budd photos.
