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.

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.
