A sharp 3.5-cm galena crystal is partially replaced, here, by tennantite. The crystal is especially fine for Tsumeb, where large and sharp galena crystals are rare despite tonnes of massive material recovered. It is pristine and complete, except for a tiny bit of the backside where you can see that the replacement has not been fully completed yet. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
