A showy and excellent cabinet combination specimen from the Santo Domingo Mine at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Highly lustrous, twinned, black sphalerite crystals to 3.0 cm are mixed with a few splendent, "melted look," stepped-growth galena cubes. The prominent, open pit-looking galena crystal is 3.1 cm. This 3-dimensional specimen is very rich zinc-lead ore. Ex. Consie Prince dealer stock.
