Killer plates of skeletal Galena decorated with brassy Pyrite 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 thin, flat plates on different axes. They grow one atop another, forming an amazing three dimensional structure. The faces are matt lustrous. Dark Sphalerite and yellow Chalcopyrite form the small base. It displays beautifully from all sides. In excellent condition – some minor nicks and contacts.
Exceptional specimen from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
