2" Galena Crystals and Chalcopyrite on Dolomite - Missouri
This is a beautiful, 2" wide association of galena crystals, chalcopyrite micro-crystals, and dolomite crystals. This mineral cluster was collected from the Sweetwater Mine in Reynolds County, Missouri, a site known for its stunning mineral associations.
Galena is a lead-based mineral and the primary ore of lead, and has been used for its lead content for thousands of years. Galena typically displays a gray metallic luster and forms cubes or octahedral crystals. The chemical composition of galena is PbS.
While galena will not pose a health hazard by sitting on the shelf or even from casual handling, we suggest washing hands following handling due to the mineral's lead content.
