Galena (Var: Plumbeine), Pyromorphite

Locality: Kautenbach Mine, Kautenbach, Traben-Trarbach, Hunsrück, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

2.6 x 2.5 x 1.7 cm. A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME and HIGHLY DESIRABLE German specimen of sharp, gunmetal-gray galena after pyromorphite barrels nicely set on matrix from the famed Kautenbach Mine. The large crystal is 9 mm. Certainly one of the most sought-after German mineral species. Ex. Carl Davis Collection.
