Galena with Calcite
specimen number:
9721095
location:
Sweetwater mine, Reynolds Co., Missouri, USA
description:
Beautiful combination piece from this prolific locality. Semi lustrous to lustrous cubic crystals of galena measuring to 3.0 cm on edge are scattered across the top of a dolomite crystal covered breccia matrix with pale yellow lustrous gemmy crystals of calcite measuring to 4.3 cm in size. This is in very good condition with just slight micro-chipping present as seen. Good combination pieces such as this have never been terribly common from the locality. This was collected in the late 1970s.
Size: 18.0 x 13.0 x 3.5 cm (large-cabinet)
