Galena, Cerussite and Wulfenite -Classic (Ref: 16.1-704)
Bleiberg District, Gailtaier Alpen and Karnische Alpen, Carinthia, Austria
75mm x 68mm x 63mm
minID: UU3-4GX
From the type locality area for Wulfenite, this is a very choice, classic Lead secondary specimen. About a dozen distinct octahedrons of Galena are sparkling with hundreds of Cerussite crystals scattered on the faces. The spaces between the Galenas are full of orange to red Wulfenites in a blocky form. One of the great classic mineral localities, important since the early 14th century. In 1556 Agricola described the locality and methods in his famed "De re Metallica" . The mines closed for good in 1993, but left a great legacy of minerals and helped develop many methods in use today. This specimen is in remarkable condition, is far more attractive in person and a fine display quality Galena much better than most seen in collections from here. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
