Galena Tsumeb, Namibia 4cm x 3.45cm x 2.1cm Ex. E. J. Immelman Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent example of galena from Tsumeb!!! While galena is not an uncommon species in general, and Tsumeb certainly produced a significant amount of lead, surprisingly examples of crystalline galena were rather scarce at Tsumeb!!! Examples of crystalline galena were rare and when they are encountered they are often poorly formed, highly altered, and of limited size!!! This specimen consists of a particularly large and well formed crystal of galena for Tsumeb!!! This crystal exhibits characteristic cubo-octahedral form and has a thin coating of related lead secondaries!!! The crystal exhibits the curious, thin, raised "seams" that are indicative of Tsumeb galena specimens!!! Although the crystal is incomplete on the reverse, it still displays fantastically regardless!!! This specimen retains an old label from the E. J. Immelman Collection (dated 1976) as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
