to opaque cerussite crystals, many well-formed, to 5 mm
scattered about on a black, lead-rich matrix. Galena
cleavages are also quite abundant, and the crystalline
pyrite to a few mm is minor. Galena is uncommon from this
locality (or at least rarely offered for sale); of the 3900 Ojuela Mine
mineral specimen photos at Mindat, only ten show galena
as a major species.
