Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Galena, Calcite
Locality: Sweetwater Mine (Milliken Mine; Frank R. Milliken; Blair Creek; Ozark Lead Company Mine; Adair Creek; Logan Creek), Ellington, Viburnum Trend District, Reynolds County, Missouri, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Galena is certainly common enough, but a large specimen combining the quality and aesthetics you see here...that is most uncommon! This piece features a pristine, 3-dimensional, SUPERB galena crystal sitting perfectly atop matrix, showing from ALL angles 360-degrees around, and perched amongst a nest of complementing calcites. Without the calcite accent, it would be a little more boring and typical. With the calcites and the placement of the crystal together, it is one of the finest for its size I have ever seen, amongst thousands of such pieces over 20 years. The galena measures 5.5 x 5 x 5 cm in size and is perfect! IT IS MUCH MORE LUSTROUS IN PERSON, TOO! 18.5 x 14.8 x 8.6 cm
