This 2.5-cm galena crystal from Eastern Europe is absolutely bizarre - actually a compound crystal that has formed as a thin sheet from hundreds of small stacked cubes! You can see sticking out of the top a little burst of calcite crystals that contain tiny inclusions of galena. This unique galena sits on a plate of platy white calcites.
