Galena on Pyrite after Pyrrhtotite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
Thin platy crystals of what were once pyrrhotite are covering the top of this matrix, these having been replaced by crystallized pyrite. Lustrous galena coats most of these crystals. Sparkling crystallized calcite are scattered throughout. This is in good condition. Mineralogically a unique specimen.
