Steel-gray galena cubes to 1.1 cm with splendent luster and nifty modified corners are aesthetically set on matrix of quartz and smaller quartz crystals on this fine specimen from the Camp Bird Mine of Ouray, Colorado. This 1960s-70s era piece from the Mullane Collection comes with a handwritten label identifying the ore body and level of this well-known mine. The information is written on the back of a faded savings deposit ticket from The Citizens State Bank of Ouray. Dennis Mullane must have bought this directly from a miner in Ouray.
