Calcite with Galena, Pyrite

Unknown Owner
Lustrous golden yellow mostly gemmy scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 9.0 cm in length set beautifully up on a matrix covered by bright lustrous botryoidal crystallized galena and minor pyrite. Very unusual crystal habit for galena from this locality. In excellent condition. The color contrast is great.
