Superb spinel law twinned Galena flattened crystals - the twinning occurs on the octahedral face in which it is parallel to....why the crystals are flat, I do not know. Spinel, the mineral in which the twinning is common, does not flatten like this. Anyhow there are at least five good sized crystals to 2cm across. At the bass of the specimen are fantastic and lustrous black Sphalerite crystals. Very nice specimen.

This is a Boodle Lane specimen which was acquired by the Desert Museum in Tucson which was later obtained by Arnold Hampson. Boodle Lane was a renowned collector from the famous Tri-State district lead/zinc mines in the early days. Boodle's biography can be read on the Mineralogical website label archive, click here.
The specimen is a good one with many cubo-octahedral crystals with paralled orientation. The largest crystal is 1.9cm. An Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum label accompanies the mineral. On the label it states that the specimen came from the "Stopkopf mine".
