Description
Octahedral galena crystals on limestone gangue from the Lompret quarry, located in the Fagne de l’Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse region, in the Eau Blanche valley not far from Chimay in Belgium.
The quarry exploits Frasnian limestone and shale for the production of aggregates for road paving and concrete. There are Frasnian fossils, calcite, baryte and galena.
