There has been some great Galena from Madan over the past 20 years or so, but this and the few following pieces really stand out as something different and fine. An exceptional and super esthetic multi-specie specimen with no damage. Outstanding arrangement and presentation from several angles. Future classic to be sure, the stacked galenas are textbook and overall the luster is very good. Fantastic for the specie and athe locality!

Esthetics! Nov. 2009
A study in geometry that is impressive and beautiful. Damage free, esthetic arrangement of stacked and aligned Galena cubes with a fine matte luster that contrasts with the light green quartz matrix. Destined for "classichood" yet currently still affordable!
Super esthetic, pristine and simply fantastic for the species and the location. No damage at all to the display face, looks great from several angles. This fine specimen features stacked and aligned Galenas interlocked with sizable Chalcopyrites. These remarkable clusters are sure to become classics yet they are still quite affordable.
