Cubo-octahedral crystal of Galena, of considerable size, partially covered by a multitude of tiny Cerussite crystals, hosted in a matrix formed of iron-rich Dolomite and associated with a large group of Quartz crystals, some of them doubly terminated.
A curious specimen due to its genetics and for being from the Rómulo mine in the La Unión-Cartagena mining district, very difficult to get nowadays.
