This is a beautiful mineral specimen, combining sharp crystals of four minerals. Sharp silver cuboctahedral crystals of galena are accompanied by pale brassy chaclopyrite crystals and darker hexagonal prisms of pyrrhotite, on a bed of small tan-coloured quartz crystals. In excellent condition, a couple of incomplete galenas at the bottom edge of the plate (as I’d display it, supported to stand as in the first photo). Very nice!
