MD-206825 - Marrite, Galena - - Archived Lengenbach Quarry, Im Feld (Imfeld; Feld; Fäld), Binn Valley, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland miniature, 4.1 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm.
4.1 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm. A validated specimen of this very rare silver-lead-arsenic sulfide species from Lengenbach. Mark exchanged it from Dr. Jaroslav Hyrsl who in turn obtained it in trade from the Natural History Museum in Bern, Switzerland, in about 1995. Although microcrystalline, the specimen has some display value - more than most such. The two arrows point to the marrite microcrystals (one or two at each arrow). The rest is galena. The marrite is dull on the surface, as opposed to the galena, which is bright. From the type locality. Ex. Dr. Mark Feinglos Collection.
