Another gem from Madan, this is a shining Galena with outstanding form on a greenish Quartz matrix. This large crystal (5.9 cm) has excellent hoppering on the triangular faces and the luster is fine. Sits well for display, there is no damage or chipping on the display face it is contacted in the back. It is possible to see a hairline crack in part of the Galena which is common at this locality, it is not damage per se but likely a side effect of cooling. If you like Galena you should love this one it is different and esthetic!
