Description
Superb large galena crystal, partially “melted” and perfectly healed.
From the Pontpéan mining area in Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany.
The Pont-Péan mine operated from the 18th to the 20th century, supplying over 200,000 tons of lead and silver.
This sample from the Doumet-Adanson collection was collected during the mining era. Remarkable!
