Superb specimen of skeletal Galena from the famous Madan ore field, Bulgaria. It displays very attractive and geometrical arrangement. 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 lustrous. Some corners are truncated and parallel. Some Sphalerite crystals and partial carbonate coating are seen too. It displays attractively all over 360 degree. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Outstanding piece from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
