A very attractive specimen, presenting very well space developed long-axes transparent needle quartz, covering sphalerite, galena, and pyrite crystals
Тип минерал: bornite
Quartz with rainbow pyrite
A unique for Bulgaria specimen presenting space developed transparent quartz – rock crystal with very well terminated shiny pyrite crystals coated by iridiscenting bornite and covellite as result of oxidation of , most likely coating of chalcopyrite
Chalcopyrite, quartz, galena, sphalerite, bornite and covelite
An aesthetic cabinet sized specimen of large chalcopyrite crystals, singenetically developed with galena and sphalerite, followed by quartz. In the last stage of crystallization, oxidation creates a thin coating of bornite and covellite.
Needles quatz-rock crystal, pyrite, galena and sphalerite
A very aesthetic cabinet size specimen of long-axes needle quartz crystals, with very lustrous crystal faces, overgrowing base of combined sphalerite and galena small crystals and a little bigger pyrite crystals, showing in some places traces of oxidation and coating by bornite.
Halcopyrite and quartz
An aesthetical specimen of large quartz crystals with also large chalcopyrite crystals, which secondary become subject to strong oxidation, what change the surface of the chalcopyrite and color it in red and on places blue color by forming coating of bornite and covelite
Chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrite and quartz
A very aesthetic and attractive specimen showing almost full paragenesis set – Chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and quartz. The specimen is strongly oxidated – galena crystals lose their luster and chalcopyrite is oxidated with different stage and coated in some places by bornite.
Manganocalcite , quartz and pyrite
Exceptional and very aesthetic specimen presenting flat manganocalcite crystals developed on thin transparent quartz crystals, followed by shiny well shaped cubic pyrite crystals. Some of the pyrites have rainbow effect, due to a thin coating of bornite-covellite as result of the oxidation process.
Azurite, malachite, linarite
Azurite, malachite, linarite, bornite, cuprite and other secondary copper minerals developed in cracks of limestones.
„Automn“ Chalcopyrite , galena and quartz
Very attractive specimens presenting quartz and galena crystals on mother rock covered by chalcopyrite crystals. Due to oxidation chalcopyrite is coaterd by bornite, Interesting is that oxidation touch every crystal with different intensity, what most likely is due to crystal structur and surface deffects.
Quartz and chalcopyrite
Well shaped chalcopyrite crystals fallowed by white quartz crystals. Chalcopyrite is particlularly oxidated and coated by bornite and covelite. On some of the crystals some parts are coated by bonite and other by covelite, what most likely is due to dirrection of solutions flowing
