Pyrite after Pyrrhotite, Sphalerite (Ref: 18EB74)
Herja Mine, Chiuzbaia, Baia Sprie, Maramures Romania
75mm x 47mm x 40mm
Group of divergent crystals with the hexagonal outline of Pyrrhotite, totally pseudomorphed by Pyrite, with a second generationof smaller brighter crystals, and a multitude of scattered small cream-colored crystals of Dolomite. A cascade of very sharp Sphalerite crystals (marmatite variety), with very well defined spinel-law twin planes, intense black and very lustrous, completes the piece, along with small traces of Pyrite with a markedly golden color. The old Herja mine, where this piece comes from, processed metals such as antimony, lead, silver and zinc.
