Quartz on Sphalerite and Galena
Krushev Dol Mine, Madan, Rhodope Mts.
Smolyan Oblast, Bulgaria
10.9 x 6.5 CM (cabinet)
price: $290
Impressive and lustrous, this is super esthetic! A cluster of very sharp undamaged Sphalerites reaching 2.7 CM are stacked in a very nice arrangement. The real interest are the sprays of delicate needle Quartz that decorate the piece and add lots of contrast. As a bonus there are some good Galenas as well. This can be displayed from several angles. Despite some damage to a few Quartz needles, this is still a a top shelf piece from a very important location that is now closed.
