Very characteristic specimen of Galena crystals on Calcite from the Snailbeach Mine, Shropshire. Crystals of Galena measuring to 2cm display offset habit with a bright metallic grey colour and a tint of brown patina. The crystals of Galena have formed on a translucent white-pink tinted rhomb of Calcite, with a late deposition of colourless gemmy Quartz crystals.
