Galena with Calcite, Sphalerite
specimen number:
1502497
location:
Villers-en-Fagne, Philippeville, Namur Province, Belgium
description: Semi-lustrous octahedral crystals of galena to 1.5 cm across scattered beautifully over the top of a crystallize sphalerite matrix measuring 10.0 x 8.0 x 5.5 cm. This sits perfectly by itself for display and shows nicely all around. Small crystals of calcite are scattered throughout. Micro-chipping present but very sparse, I think in very good condition and quite nice for this old locality. Shipping weight: 1.19 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
Size: 10.0 x 8.0 x 5.5 cm (cabinet)
