{"product_id":"galena-33","title":"GALENA","description":"One of the fascinating aspects of mineralogy is that nature often produces unanticipated paradoxes and one such example at Tsumeb is despite being a lead mine (amongst other metals) and its reputation for being one of the world’s best producers of specimen material, well-crystallised Galena was very much in short supply. This thumbnail is a choice example of crystallized Galena from Tsumeb, dominated by one truncated crystal, seemingly cubic with a four-sided pyramidal development on one face; i.e. a mix of cube and octahedron, yet not cuboctahedral! Some faces are bright silver where perhaps sections have been cleaved-off, but the majority are tarnished to sooty black with characteristic deep striated faces.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781239873871,"sku":"CC32560","price":148.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC32560_a3368700-c2f1-443e-aa38-c209ee4da70c.jpg?v=1783983927","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/galena-33","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
