A unique Eastern European galena specimen! If features a single large, floater crystal of galena that has grown around a number of gemmy quartz crystals, arranged perfectly around the periphery of the galena. The large termination face of the galena cants towards you, and you see the tips of the quartzes sticking up around it like a decoration. The orange color you see is micro-calcites on the back sides of the quartzes - you are seeing through the clear crystals. A really aesthetic specimen!
