Beautiful presentation of doubly terminated Quartzes crystals over Sphalerite-Galena base from Krushev dol mine, Madan ore field, Bulgaria. The Quartz crystals stand in very elegant free manner overt the matrix. They are razor sharp and form super focal points. The main two of them are doubly terminated. The Quartzes are strongly transparent and they have decoration of small Sphalerite and Chalcopyrite growing above. The Sphalerite crystals at the base are black with strong luster. They are sharp and shiny with tetrahedral shape. Frosty cuboctahedral Galena crystals are seen too.  In good condition – some nicks, contacts and base cracks.

Exquisite specimen!
