2.7" Galena Crystal Cluster - Peru

This is a beautiful cluster of galena crystals. It comes from the Huanzala Mine in Peru and the entire piece measures 2.7" wide.

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.
