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!

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!
