An outstanding galena specimen from this very classic locale, where galena was common but specimens such as this level, were never common. Large, well formed, cubeoctahedrons of galena, to 4 cm across, are associated with scalenohedrons of lustrous and translucent, milky white crystals of calcite to 1.8 cm in length. The calcite fluoresces a brilliant, rich orange color. We have had galenas of such size and style before, but the settign against white, crystallized calcite matrix is just much more special! Super combo specimen!
