Aesthetic specimen of skeletal Galena with Chalcopyrite 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 other forming amazing terraced structures. The faces are matt lustrous. Attractive decoration is yellow Chalcopyrite growing above. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts.

Splendid specimen from this closed mine!
