Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of galena from this famous locale!!! This specimen consists of a large, cubic
crystal of silvery metallic galena that is aesthetically studded with octahedral crystals of galena!!! There is a
small amount of brassy golden marcasite present as well!!! The octahedral crystal faces are
all oriented the same direction which makes for a rather attractive appearance in person!!! Classic
old time material!!! Despite some minor damage this specimen
displays magnificently all around and is quite showy and impressive!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired
the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting
minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was
originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
