Superb skeletal Galena decorated by gemmy Sphalerite, Quartz and Chalcopyrite from 9th Septemvri mine, Madan ore field, Bulgaria. Very attractive and geometrical arrangement of stacked and aligned Galena overgrowing each other. Excellent parallel growth of cubes and elongated tetragonal prisms on different axes. They grow one atop another forming amazing terraced structure. The faces are matt. Slightly gemmy dark Sphalerite crystals grow in an elongated structure. Small Quartz crystals and Chalcopyrite are seen too. Displays aesthetically all over 360 degree. In good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Pretty specimen from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
