This is an old-timer from Santa Eulalia -- a matrix-free specimen of crystallized galena, with a shiny-metallic luster and extremely complex, stepped faces - with associated pyrrhotite of a dull bronze color. The altered form of both minerals indicates that there was natural etching in the pocket of both the galena and the pyrrhotite.
