This large hunk of galena is a partial crystal, but has several exceptional crystal faces that betray its form. It is a hybrid octahedron/cube according to the shapes of its faces, each of which have a remarkable texture due to visible growth patterns. Its underside has the look of classic, cleaved galena, although there does seem to be evidence of some partial healing in one area. There are also tiny calcite crystals scattered along its sides, and just a hint of chalcopyrite!
