Sphalerite (Cleiophane) and Galena on Quartz (Ref: 13.1-158)
September 9th Mine, Madan Ore field, Rhodope Mts., Smolyan Oblast, Bulgaria
118mm x 82mm x 44mm
minID: 24R-RAR
A very fine cabinet display specimen of gemmy yellow to dark green Sphalerite crystals on a contrasting drusy Quartz boxwork matrix. The Quartz druse sprinkled with cubes of Galena some of which have grown next to the Spahlerites. A classic association from the Madan area of Bulgaria, this is much better than most and in excellent condition. This presents the majority of the Cleiophane (gemmy Sphalerites) in a chain like cluster. These photos are not backlit but with a good light behind the Sphalerites they glow a vivid bright yellow-green which is fantastic in person.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
