A super aesthetic piece clearly from the very oldest finds here (note date of 1838(, of sharp, translucent, lustrous witherites perched on a galena matrix. I have not previously seen witherites from here on galena either through ignorance or because they aren't common as I suspect. In any case, the contrast of the metallic galena background sets this off nicely. TYPE LOCALITY!
