Aesthetic combo specimen of Sphalerite and Galena decorated by Quartz, Chalcopyrite and Pyrite from Madan ore field, Bulgaria. Very attractive arrangement of sharp Galena cubes overgrowing black Sphalerite octahedrons. One dominant 18mm Sphalerite crystal makes excellent focal point. The Sphalerites are black, lustrous and gemmy. Small Quartzes, yellow Chalcopyrite and brassy Pyrite crystals are seen too. Displays on both sides. In good condition – some nicks and contacts.

Interesting piece from this closed mine!
