CWC69 Galena
Tri-state District, Oklahoma, United States (pre-1967)
9.7x 4.7x 3.6 cm
$58
A galena cube on a nicely contrasting chert matrix, from the Tri-Satate district. I like these better than the more contemporary Viburnum Trend specmens, because the chert matrixes tend to give the pieces a much cleaner appearance than the messy breccia visible on those from Viburnum. The last mine in the area closed in 1967.
