Description: Galena Locality: West Fork Mine, Centerville, Viburnum Trend District, Reynolds County, Missouri, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 5.7 x 4.5 x 2.8 cm. A fine specimen from the much less well-known West Fork Mine of Missouri’s famous Viburnum Trend. The modified, cuboctahedral galena crystals have this incredible coating of supremely iridescent, peacock-blue and magenta. I have seen very few Viburnum Trend galenas with this unreal iridescence. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
