A rare and superb cluster of sharp, highly to moderately lustrous, lead-gray, parallel-growth, spinel-twinned galena crystals from the Buick Mine of Missouri's Viburnum Trend. These large crystals and style are classic for a particular find there, in the 1990s. This excellent, complete-all-around crystal is richly and beautifully covered on the back and one edge with lustrous dolomite rhombs, sparkly, brassy marcasite crystals and a couple of well-placed, calcite scalenohedrons. The doubly terminated calcite on the end is 1.5 cm (one end is cleaved) .
