Description

A superb specimen of skeletal galena from the famous Madan ore field, Bulgaria. It displays very attractive and geometrical arrangement of stacked and aligned galena overgrowing each other. Excellent parallel growth of cubes and elongated tetragonal prisms on different axes. They grow one atop other forming amazing terraced structures. The faces are matt lustrous. Some black sphalerite and quartz crystals are seen too. In excellent condition.

Outstanding specimen from this closed mine – the only one that makes these structures!
