This is a fine old German galena specimen that came out of the European Wein collection, which was dispersed last year. The crystals have a bluish cast to them, like "blueing" on a gun-barrel. The cluster was removed with a thin rim of accenting matrix around it. The crystals measure to 1.2 cm across.
