Galena- skeletal and chain growths with Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite and Quartz (Ref: 17.1-688)
9th of September Mine, Madan, Rhodope Mts., Smolyan Oblast, Bulgaria
69mm x 45mm x 34mm
minID: UN2-TLT
Amazing form! The Galenas here show many unusual habits, the epitaxial chains are most eyecatching but the hoppered and skeletal crystals are also very fine. Remarkable too is the lack of any visible damage. We have handled a lot of fine Bulgarian specimens but this one stands out as a very choice piece for esthetics and combinations of well crystallized but bizzare forms. From finds in 2014 I have not seen any newer material quite like this.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
