A matrix of dolomite is the host of an aesthetic group of medium-gray, lustrous, modified crystals of galena, to 2.5 cm across. I particularly like the way this specimen sits up naturally. The sharp modified octos are really aesthetic, more so in person when you can see the 3-dimensionality!. 14.2 x 6.5 x 3.6 cm
