Splendent, metallic-gray galena cubes are richly and aesthetically set on a thin crust of matrix covered with tiny calcites on this outstanding old-time piece from the Gluckauf Shaft of the Himmelsfurst Mine. The two large cubes, with nifty modified corners, reach 1.7 cm and are beautifully placed opposite each other on the wedge-like matrix. Classic material from this renowned locale. Ex. Leithauser Collection.
