Beautiful specimen of skeletal Galena decorated with Chalcopyrite and Pyrite from 9th Septemvri mine, Madan ore field, Bulgaria. It displays very aesthetic and geometrical arrangement of stacked and aligned Galena overgrowing each other. Excellent parallel growth of cubes and rectangular parallelepipeds on different axes. They grow one atop other forming amazing terraced structures. The faces are matt lustrous. Attractive decoration is yellow Chalcopyrite crystals and small brassy Pyrite. All this structure sits attractively at the top of small Quartz crystals base and forms an excellent focal point. It displays all over 360 degree. In excellent condition. On acrylic base.
Gorgeous specimen from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
