Well formed, white Calcite crystals atop Galena. The Calcite crystals reach 2cm in size and the main Calcite has one side coated by small Sphalerite crystals. The Galena are interesting with a 'melted' looking appearance and curving surface striations. Well crystallized all around, there are even small Pyrite and Quartz crystals present. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
