Galena with Pyrite
specimen number:
9508730
location:
Galena, Jo Daviess Co., Illinois, USA
description: An amazing large old-timer for this mining district! A 15.5 x 10.0 x 7.5 cm grouping of semi-lustrous spinel-law twin galena crystals without matrix. A slight dusting of pyrite is upon the galena crystal faces. Shows all around with some damage on the back side as seen in the 2nd photo. Despite the damage, I still think this a very signicant example for this U.S. classic!
Size: 15.5 x 10.0 x 7.5 cm (large-cabinet)
