Galena, Block 14 Opencut, Broken Hill, NSW
SKU: 486
Size 7.5cm x 3.5cm
A heavy but nice speciman of the cubic form of galena, showing the cubic cleavage well. Galena was the main ore in broken hill, but most of it is fine grained, especially from the deeper levels of the mines, and does not show the cubic form. In the early years and higher levels, galena showing the cubic form was more common, than now, although small pockets are rarely found in the underground mines.
