JFD85AO1: Galena
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.
Galena's mine, Vegacervera, Comarca Ribera del Torío, León, Castile and León  Spain
Specimen size: 4.2 × 4 × 3.6 cm = 1.65” × 1.57” × 1.42”
.
SV90RCX: Galena
Intergrowth formed by a group of three main Galena crystals with visible and very smooth cube faces, along with figures of the cube-octahedron with graphic texture. Very clean and with a satiny metallic luster characteristic for the species. This specimen comes from a classic deposit of Spanish mineralogy, the La Cruz mine group in Jaén, Andalusia, from which not too many specimens are seen anymore on the mineralogical circuit.
La Cruz mining group, La Cruz vein, Linares, Comarca Sierra Morena, Jaén, Andalusia  Spain
Specimen size: 6.3 × 5 × 2.2 cm = 2.48” × 1.97” × 0.87”

Main crystal size: 2.7 × 2.1 cm = 1.06” × 0.83”
.
JST96AP8: Galena
Very aerial group of Galena crystals with dominant cube faces and with octahedron faces, not always visible, on the vertices. These crystal faces, despite the antiquity of the piece, have still preserved their very bright luster. The specimen comes from the collection of Andrés Jiménez Shelly, and was previously in the Folch collection (duplicates), whose handwritten label we will attach.
Jesús María Mine (El Soldado Mine), Los Guindos mining group, Dehesa de Cielo Abierto, Baños de la Encina, Comarca Sierra Morena, Jaén, Andalusia  Spain
Specimen size: 4 × 2.4 × 2.4 cm = 1.57” × 0.94” × 0.94”

TBR27AQ1: Galena
Group of Galena crystals with parallel growths on the edges, lustrous, and of more than considerable size for the deposit. An excellent and very old Spanish classic in excellent condition and with better aesthetics than this Spanish Fluorite locality usually offers.
