From 1991 mining, a really interesting galena specimen that combined a conventional compound crystal combining a cube and a bar shape with small cuboctahedral crystals that pepper the multiple levels of the matrix. The matrix has a "wrap-around" form, with the two larger galenas and a smaller plate of matrix atop the lower plate. Ex. Feist Collection.
