Massive Galena of high quality, sometimes forming cubes, other times in matrix.
Galena is one of the main lead ores. It is a mineral widely used in the manufacture of batteries to start cars.
Formerly it was used by the Egyptians for cosmetic powders, as well as to make ceramic vessels.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a cardboard box. 4 cm square.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
