Galena with Sphalerite, Quartz
specimen number:
2241092
location:
Deardorff Mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description:
This is an outstanding example for the species from this old locality with incredibly bright lustrous cubic crystals to 2.5 cm on edge scattered aesthetically throughout the top of an 18.5 x 17.0 x 3.5 cm sparkling crystallized quartz matrix. Lustrous black crystals of sphalerite to 0.8 cm are scattered richly throughout. Some chipping present, still I think in very good condition. The quality of this piece for the species in size is excellent for the locality. Shipping weight: 3.16 pounds. Ex Charles Noll collection.
