Description: For your consideration is this very nice galena specimen with a nice matrix of galena & pyrite from the Eagle Mine in Gilman, Eagle County, Colorado USA. The Eagle mine was for many years Colorado's most prolific producer of mineral specimens. Closed since 1984, galena & pyrite specimens such as this nice example are now considered classics for Colorado. This specimen is from the collection of John R. Helms, a mine foreman who worked for the New Jersey Zinc Company at the Eagle mine for over 35 years. Persson Rare Minerals was able to acquire this unique collection of Colorado minerals from the Helms family earlier this fall. Mr. Helms had a passion for minerals and mineral collecting his entire life, and his collection represents a very diverse and complete cross-section of the minerals which are found at this iconic Colorado mining district, long-closed. This is a very nice small cabinet size galena specimen with pyrite from Gilman, with cubic crystals to ~1 cm with a dull luster. Piece is in great condition! Classic! Specimen Dimensions: 4.2 x 3.7 x 6.2 cm. Weight: 181 grams *Please note this mineral will be shipped separately and cannot be combined*
