Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible, old time example of native lead from this historic locale!!! Elemental lead is
quite reactive and readily decomposes into secondary lead species, as a result examples of
native lead are extremely rare in nature and large, well formed crystals are exponentially more rare!!!
This specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! This specimen is one of the finest examples of
native lead we have ever offered!!! It was quite difficult to capture just how fine this specimen was in the pics -
in person there is much more sharp detail and pronounced crystallization!!! This specimen
consists of a large, chunky, complex CRYSTAL of native lead with numerous well formed crystals of jet-black
pryochroite in association!!! The crystals show sharp faces and prominent euhedral features all around!!! This is a KILLER
native lead crystal indeed!!! The pyrocroite crystals are also sharply formed and significantly sized as well!!!
Simply amazing in person!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable old timer!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 20th!!!
