There are several habits of Galena present on this specimen and some intriguing growth patterns on the surfaces. The Galena has a very high metallic luster which in places is dulled a bit with the presence of a very thin, patchy layer of very small, micro Quartz crystals. In places, there is a slight, blue iridescence. The specimen may be a floater in that it is difficult to determine a point of attachment.

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: There are a few, small places where the Galena is cleaved.
