Description

This specimen is not just another boring galena from Altenmittlau. It is a floater cubic crystal, with curved, with the faces richly occupied by cerussite crystals. Under long UV, cerussites get a strong yellow fluorescence. It was extracted in 1992 by Dutch collector Leendert Weeda (1932-2006) in a loose soil, nearby the well-known Schmitt dolomite quarry (Altenmittlau). He recovered over 50 Kg of such specimens, usually smaller than 3 cm. Good occasion of a rare German sample.

Ex Leendert Weeda collection.
