32469: Galena (altering to Anglesite) with
Pyrite - $18 Sweetwater Mine, Ellington, Reynolds County, Missouri Miniature - 4.5 x 3.8 x 3.0 cm 84 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order A dark brassy, crystalline pyrite
matrix hosts numerous grey galena crystals, these reaching
8 mm. These galenas are mostly enveloped by a thin
alteration rind, assumed to be anglesite. Despite the
incipient alteration, the specimen appears stable; it
lacks any crumbly areas or sulfurous odor. Not pretty, but
mineralogically interesting.
