Galena with Baryte on Sphalerite

Huanzala Mine, Huallanca District, Dos de Mayo Province, Huánuco Department, Peru

Size 7x5x3.5cm

Price £35



Unusual combination with highly lustrous and well formed dodecahedral galena set in dark brown and in places iridescent sphalerite. The contrast between the bright galena and dark sphalerite is striking and more noticeable in normal daylight than the bright lights used for the photos. Contacted around some of the edges but otherwise in great condition. Well proportioned and interesting piece.
