SOLD
A DRAMATIC CABINET specimen from the much less well-known West Fork Mine of Missouri"s famous Viburnum Trend. A STUNNING, 3.9 cm, lustrous, metallic-gray galena cube aesthetically crowns the specimen and smaller galena cubes beneath it in a highly brecciated, siliceous limestone matrix. The matrix is dusted with tiny, flashy chalcopyrite crystals, which adds a very nice touch. Another large, 3.5 cm galena cube is hidden in the bottom of the piece and shows through on the bottom-right of the front. Ex. George Feist Collection.
