Large, GEMMY, transparent, green cuboctohedral crystals to a whopping 4 cm, surmounting a knoll-shaped cluster of smaller crystals, also play host to a brilliantly lustrous 2-cm galena crystal! The galena is nestled in a sphalerite embrace, so you have silver on black on green...very bright combo, in person! The piece is entirely 100% translucent and is also a floater with a recrystallized break on the bottom contact, and complete even around the backside.
