Galena Crystals with Minor Calcite and Sphalerite Crystals
Location: Sweet Water Mine, Ellington, Reynolds Cty, Missouri
10 x 6.5 cm. Galena crystal: 3 x2 x 2 cm.
This is a really nice specimen with one large galena crystal sitting on top of matrix coated all over with small calcite, sphalerite and galena crystals. The large galena crystal is actually several crystals intergrown with each other and an opening that is not a broken area but one that is where some of the growth of other crystals had taken place but not completed.
