Galena and sphalerite are both well represented in the deposit, and combinations of all three minerals have become highly recognisable among collectors of Peruvian material.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis specimen is beautifully composed, with an incredibly geometric arrangement of galena, pyrite and sphalerite creating a strong contrast between silver and gold. The galena is especially striking, with highly reflective faces and sensational etched textures across the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCloser inspection reveals incredibly fine geometric patterns, with lines, terraces and repeated forms that are almost reminiscent of a microchip or algorithmic design.
