EH96T5: Galena
Aggregate, on a metallic matrix, of cuboctahedral crystals with very well defined faces and edges in which the forms of the cube and the octahedron have an equal size. It is from a find by Frank de Wit in 2007 from which we offer all of the available samples. The piece is with a label signed by Frank that we'll send to the buyer.
This specimen was published on the Mineralogical Record´s web page, in the ‘What’s New in the Mineral World?’ section, report #30, November 25, 2011 edition.

TK67T2: Galena
Fine “oldie” with a group of cuboctahedral crystals on matrix, some of them with very well marked spinel law twins, that display a good luster considering it is an ancient sample from a classic locality. The piece is from the collection of John Marshall. The collection card is lost, but the pedigree remains testified by the number of small labels on the back side.

MFP30CD3: Galena after Pyromorphite
Aggregate of prismatic Pyromorphite crystals partially pseudomorphed by Galena, with the dominant forms of the prism and a very flattened pinacoid termination. The crystals are sharper than usual, as is its state of conservation. This specimen, a classic of French mineralogy, comes from the collection of duplicates of Carles Curto (number 1965.32) whose digital file we will send to the buyer of the piece.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MF47E7: Galena on Pyrite
From a locality that used to be very productive (although it is no longer so) this one stands out from all the others found there for various reasons: the form of the crystal (slightly oblong and with small octahedral modification on the corners), all the faces are undamaged, the brilliance of the faces, and, above all, its great position on the matrix of botryoidal Pyrite. So while many Galenas have been found in the Tri-State district this one is special.
