GALENA WITH SIDERITE ON QUARTZ

Very fine visuals on this cabinet combination specimen from the famous Alston Moor. A group of very attractive, modified cubic galena crystals to 3.2 cm on edge make up the focal point. They have a nice silver color and are well-formed all the way around. Sparkly quartz crystals serve as the backdrop, covering essentially the entire frontside of the host rock and further accented by tan to brown crystals of siderite. Together it all comes together to make for a much more intriguing and aesthetic than is typically seen for a galena matrix specimen. This piece has been sawed on the bottom to make it easily displayable, and it really does stand out as an exceptionally handsome and artistic display. Formerly in the collection of Al and Sue Liebetrau.
