VT-1 Chalcopyrite & Dolomite - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $10; Brassy chalcopyrite crystals contrast well with the white dolomite crystals. 6.5 x 3 x 3
VT-2 Chalcopyrite & Dolomite - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $40; As above, just larger. 11.5 x 9 x 3 Reserved
VT-3 Calcite & Pyrite - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $100; The calcite crystals are gemmier and more golden in color than the photos indicate. To find them on a cabinet sized specimen in association with pyrite is a real rarity from the Viburnum Trend Mining District, the world's largest galena deposit. 18 x 12 x 6 Reserved
VT-4 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $30; The main galena crystal has octahedral bevels on all 4 of the prominent corners. The galena has a very good luster, not dull as it appears in the photos. I was trying to keep the glare down so you could see the crystals easier! 4 x 6 x 3 Reserved
VT-5 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $50; I took the first 4 photos of this rare "capped" galena to show that it's in excellent condition on all sides. The last shot shows how the "cap" is larger than the sides, much like a scepter quartz. The luster is excellent, and the small cluster of dolomite crystals adds class. 2 x 2 x 4.2 Reserved
VT-6 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $30; An oddly spotted galena crystal has an abnormally large octahedral bevel on one corner. This is more lustrous than it looks, but it's not the top quality high luster that the rest of the specimens on this page exhibit. 8 x 5 x 3
VT-7 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $40; The main crystal looks great against the smaller druse galenas. It's very rare to find druse galena with larger crystals growing on top in the Viburnum Trend. 8 x 5.5 x 2 Reserved
VT-8 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $60; More lustrous than normal truncated octahedral galena crystals to 2+ cm cover the display surface. Choice! 9.5 x 5.5 x 3 Reserved
VT-9 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $50; A superb twinned galena crystal with some octahedral bevels on the corners is positioned perfectly on just the right amount of matrix. Note the reflection of the dolomite crystals in the lower left photo. The galena's luster is superb. 7 x 5 x 3 Reserved
VT-10 Galena - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri $30; This outstanding miniature features truncated octahedral galena crystals that have a sprinkling of chalcopyrite, all on a bright white dolomite matrix. Absolutely top quality! 5.5 x 3 x 2 Reserved
