This specimen consists almost entirely of very sharp and well crystallized native lead. The crystals range in size to a full cm across. Also present are large bladed crystals of barite and there are also composite crystals of off white calcite.  A note here - all lead specimens tend to become oxidized over time altering to hydrocerussite or other lead oxides.
