As I have commented on other occasions, a collection is a set and not only of selected pieces, but it can also have modest pieces to simply represent a locality. This very isolated Galena crystal is representative and, furthermore, its matrix is very white, which gives it a certain contrast.

TG47AL6: Galena after Pyromorphite (variety sexangulite)

Galena pseudomorphs after a group of prismatic Pyromorphite crystals, one of them clearly dominant. As can be seen by the tiny cleavages at the base of the specimen, the substitution of Pyromorphite by Galena is complete. A great French classic, very hard to come by.
Huelgoat, Châteaulin, Finistère, Brittany/Bretagne France
Specimen size: 2 × 1.4 × 1 cm = 0.79” × 0.55” × 0.39”
Price: [SOLD]

EMJ49AQ1: Galena after Pyromorphite (variety sexangulite)

Galena pseudomorphs after Pyromorphite (sexangulite variety) Aerial prismatic crystals of Pyromorphite pseudomorphed by Galena (variety sexangulite), on matrix. An old specimen, a rarity with "pedigree" and subjected to numerous avatars, as evidenced by the extensive accompanying labels. From the collection of Ferdinand Gonnard it went to the École de Mines in Paris, and from there to a German collector whose name was not preserved, to be, later, commercialized and passed successively to Frédéric Bonnet, Maxime Tomljanovic, Thierry Buléon, and Benjamín Carballo. This type of specimen is so difficult to obtain that it is not surprising that it moved through so many collections.
Huelgoat, Châteaulin, Finistère, Brittany/Bretagne France
Specimen size: 3.6 × 2.6 × 1.8 cm = 1.42” × 1.02” × 0.71”
Price: [SOLD]

TG6AG0: Galena after Pyrrhotite

Group of very sharp thick tabular Galena crystals with a very well defined pseudohexagonal contour because they are pseudomorphous after Pyrrhotite. They are partially coated by a second generation of well defined galena crystals and small groups of micro-crystalline Quartz. These pseudomorphs of Pyrrhotite-Galena from Murcia are well known for their stability so they are not altered by time.

NT96AJ7: Galena after Pyrrhotite and with Sphalerite

Cubo-octahedral Galena crystals in tabular growths, pseudomorphous after Pyrrhotite, with Sphalerite. Although they were previously known in the area the specimen is from a very recent find.
Sultana open pit, Cabezo de Ponce, Llano del Beal, Cartagena, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Region of Murcia (Murcia) Spain (11/2018)

Price: [SOLD]

MG30AI6: Galena after Pyrrhotite with Pyrite and Sphalerite

A sample that reclaims a special attention, both for its spectacular appearance and for its complexity, because the Galena has the pseudomorph shape of parallel growths of old tabular Pyrrhotite crystals coated by Pyrite further recrystallized in small cubic and cubo-octahedral crystals, and with some twinned Sphalerite crystals. Being that the Pyrrhotite is after Galena and not Pyrite (which is the the most typical) the chemical stability of the sample seems assured.
Stan Trg (Stari Trg) Mine, Trepča Complex, Trepča Valley, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovska Mitrovica District Kosovo (2010)
Specimen size: 11.8 × 9.4 × 6.2 cm = 4.65” × 3.70” × 2.44”
