7.2 x 7.0 x 5.6 cm. Fine galena specimens from the Southern Illinois Fluorite District are not all that common. This large group of stepped galena crystals, to 5.25 cm across, is a floater! It is somewhat elegant with a slightly curved form to it. It has good luster with a battleship-gray color. Sprinkled on the galena are a few subhedral crystals of lavender fluorite. Ex. David Stoudt Collection.
