Extremely lustrous and bright flattened "spinel-law" twinned galena crystals, the grouping measuring 6.5 cm across, is set upright and perfectly from a matrix of crystallized quartz and colorless glassy gemmy fluorites. Measures 9.5 x 8.0 x 5.5 cm in size overall; this shows all around 360 degrees. This is in exceptional condition damage-wise; as perfect as can reasonably be expected. Better I think than as shown in the photos; the galena faces are very reflective of light. For a twinned galena crystal, this is an outstanding specimen! Comes with a custom acrylic display base.
