Description
A small cabinet sized specimen of bright, highly reflective cubic crystals of Galena intergrown with milky Quartz crystals and Chalcopyrite. From Bansk' 'tiavnica in the Bansk' Bystrica Region of Slovakia, the Galena crystals are typically 7 to 8 mm on edge but have developed to as much as 11 mm. A very good example of this form of lead-copper sulphide mineralisation at Bansk' 'tiavnica.
