A titan of the Viburnum Trend. This substantial 938g specimen from the renowned Sweetwater Mine is a study in metallic perfection and contrast. We curated this piece for its centerpiece-quality Galena: a large, singularly dominant cube with sharp edges and a mirror-bright, gunmetal-gray luster. It sits perched atop a textural matrix of golden Pyrite and creamy rhombohedral Dolomite, creating a sophisticated palette of silver, gold, and bone-white. The Sweetwater Mine is globally recognized for producing the world’s finest Galena, and this specimen—with its impressive weight and impeccable geometric habit—is a definitive representative of high-grade American mineralogy.
