A remarkable specimen featuring a giant Galena cube rising from its natural matrix. Sourced from the famous Sweetwater Mine in the Viburnum Trend, Reynolds County, Missouri, the crystal displays sharp edges, smooth metallic faces, and an impressive geometric form that immediately draws the eye.
The matrix is sprinkled with sparkling Chalcopyrite crystals, adding flashes of gold, red, purple, and iridescent colours that beautifully contrast with the dark metallic Galena. The combination of bold geometry, colourful sparkle, and this renowned mining locality creates a particularly striking specimen.
