An unusual, fine combination specimen from the famous mines at Zacatecas, Mexico and the Gene Meieran Collection. Some of the faces of the brilliant, steel-gray galena crystals are strangely melted and etched, especially the galena surrounded by the complimentary, sparkly calcite crystals. Fine combination material from this renowned locale.
