This specimen consists of massive galena that displays numerous olive green, acute rhombohedral crystals with complex, very well defined faces and edges (to 9mm). All of the major xls are intact and glassy. Perhaps a minor edge ding. Under SW UV light there is some embedded calcite that glows bright orange.
