We have something different for this preview.... a mineral, a large heavy mineral. Galena is the natural mineral form for lead sulfide (PbS). It crystallizes in cubic shapes, sometimes showing octohedral forms. This is a large chunk of galena. It's gorgeous as is, but add a little cleaning will make it look even better....
