Fine grained galena in a matrix of dark grey metasedimentary clay slate (killas) with quartz, the latter showing epimorph structures, probably after fluorite. There is also a sprinkling of small nail head spar calcite crystals on the specimen. Collected from the dumps of Eastern Shaft on the 17th September 2019.
