This hand specimen consists of several large rectangular galena crystals on a sphalerite matrix. There are also numerous calcite crystals in various forms present. The galena crystals have a dull metallic luster, and various shapes including cubes and rectangles. The largest crystal is rather odd - it is largely hollow, although it is also mostly buried under other crystals, so it cannot be examined in its entirety.
