Three, lustrous galena cubes are perched on a sliver of brecciated limestone matrix covered with scintillating calcite microcrystals and beautifully accented with a rich sprinkling of gemmy, ruby-jack sphalerite crystals. The crowning galena cube is 1.3 x 1.1 cm and has interesting, modified corners. The galena crystals are pristine. This is classic and excellent combination material from the Walsh Ore Body of the Camp Bird Mine at Ouray, Colorado. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
