A very attractive, aesthetic specimen of galena and pyrite lustrous crystals, overgrowth by extremely lustrous, well-shaped black sphalerite crystals with tetrahedral habit. In marmatite, there are several twinned crystals.
Тип минерал: sphalerite
Rhodochrosite, quartz, stilbite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite- marmatite
A gorgeous and very aesthetic cabinet size specimen of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena, covered by rhodochrosite and small clear quartz crystals, followed by double-terminated translucent stilbite crystals. The specimen has a cut base.
Galena, quartz, sphalerite-marmatite and chalcopyrite
One excellent, large cabinet size specimen, of quartz, overgrowth by large, very well-developed galena crystals segmented formation, followed by chalcopyrite and black sphalerite-marmatite. Galena is strongly dissolved in the last stages of crystallization, forming fingerprint signs.
Chalcopyrite, Galena, sphalwrite-marmatite, quartz and rhodochrosite
One unique specimen of galena, overgrowth by large bright chalcopyrite crystals with very aesthetic striation on the crystal faces and followed by quartz and black sphalerite – marmatite. In the end of the crystallization process crystalized several beautiful hallow rhodochrosite crystals, following the shape of dissolved calcite crystals.
Rhodochrosite, sphalerite-marmatite and chalcopyrite
One stunning cabinet size specimen of sphalerite – marmatite and chalcopyrite, covered by spherulites of rhodochrosite, lately strongly dissolved
Galena, sphalerite-marmatite, quartz, chalcopyrite and pyrite
One stunning large cabinet size specimen of black, lustrous sphalerite-marmatite large crystals developed on clear quartz, overgrowth by very well crystallized galena crystals – a combination of cub and octahedron, with mirror lustrous crystal faces. Galena is overgrowth by large chalcopyrite crystals, lately dissolved and replaced internally by small pyrite crystals.
Rhodochrosite, quartz, pyrite, galena, sphalerite and stilbite
An outstanding cabinet size specimen of pyrite, galena, and sphalerite overgrowth by small clear quartz crystals covered by rhodochrosite. At the end of the crystallization process, on top of all minerals were developed small double-terminated stilbite crystals.
Varieties of sphalerite – transparent sphalerite- cleophane and black marmatite
Two excellent samples of sphalerite’s varieties – transparent green sphalerite – cleophane and black and very lustrous crystals of marmatite
Transparent green sphalerite- cleophane, galena quartz and pyrite
#1787
One amazing, large cabinet size specimen of cubic galena crystals, strongly dissolved and rounded, overgrowth, by small quartz clusters, pyrite and very aesthetic transparent isometric sphalerite – cleophane crystals with green color.
size 128 x 60 x 48 mm
Krushev dol mine, Madan, Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria.
Galena and sphalerite – marmatite
An exceptional cabinet size specimen presenting large galena crystals, the combination of a cub and octagon crystal faces, lately particularly dissolved, overgrowth by black sphalerite – marmatite crystals with very lustrous crystal faces.
