From the Hauck Collection, this large old Kansas galena specimen is really just spectacular in person. With their flat, modified, terminations, the modified octahedrons are intergrown and piled atop one another in a beautifully architectural arrangement. The piece is LARGE if you measure it out, and weighs a few pounds. This is a CLASSIC old tri-state piece from mining in the 1940s and 1950s to the early 1960s perhaps. The specimen is anchored by a central, very large crystal. Wonderful gunmetal luster. 9.7 x 8.2 x 6.2cm
