Description: Lead Locality: Långban, Filipstad, Värmland, Sweden (Locality at mindat.org) This is a very fine, rare specimen of crystallized native lead. Such specimens are known best from the classic old locality of Langban. It is extremely uncommon to get a specimen with any sense of aesthetics, though. They just usually tend to be lumpy masses of unappealing gray rock, with only a few exceptions - and those usually already in noted museums. This one is about as elegant as you can expect from a native lead, displays nicely, and features crystals to 2 cm that are relatively well-formed. 8 x 3 x 2 cm
