Superb skeletal Galena on Sphalerite and Quartz base 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. Black Sphalerite and small Quartz crystals are seen too. Displays aesthetically. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts.
Neat specimen from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
