{"product_id":"galena-51","title":"GALENA","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome people turn their nose up against Galena, claiming it to be too common a species, but I challenge anyone to not be seriously impressed by this remarkable crystallized display specimen from Madan Ore Field in Bulgaria. Weighing over 2 kg, the crystals are as close to perfection as I could ever imagine for Galena. For a mineral so prone to shedding along its perfect cleavage planes, this specimen is remarkable. With crystals ranging from perfect octahedral forms, 5 cm across, to spinel-twins to 6 cm in length, and with hoppered, skeletal development seen on the back, this is a world-class piece, but I still can't believe that there is no damage, it is miraculous. The Galena surfaces are exceptionally bright metallic, just shy of mirror-bright.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46933583921327,"sku":"CC62781","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC62781_Galena_Madan_Ore_Field_Bulgaria_IMG_3211ed.jpg?v=1784622237","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/galena-51","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
