Lead, Allactite from Långban, Filipstad, Värmland, Sweden [db_pics/mdpics/MD-34331a.jpg]

This is a classic, elongated, but unusually sharp lead crysatl with clear faces. It has been left "dirty" rather than cleaned to be penny-bright and metallic, because I value the antique look on these. This is technically a single floater crystal, complete all around, but the visual appearance is of a 3 cm crystal on matrixy-lookin' lead at its base. The base also is dotted with sharp allactite crystals to 4 or 5 mm in size. 4 x 2.6 x 1.2 cm
