Superb combination piece from this famous mining district with lustrous crystals of galena to 3.0 cm in size, some showing twinning, on this matrix with crystallized arsenopyrite and small gemmy fluorite crystals to 1.0 cm. No points of attachment and completely crystallized all around, the only cleaving I can find is on what is considered the base of the specimen.
