A bright and eye-catching cabinet sized display specimen featuring predominant, sharp, cuboctahedral groups of silvery Galena which are perched atop “Chlorite” included Quartz crystal matrix. The Galena groups have a selective deposition of bright, sharp, lustrous golden Chalcopyrites, creating a stunning two-tone color effect. Many of the Galena crystals actually have Quartz crystals growing right through them! The piece is in great shape on all sides, and despite the number of photos we took, it still looks better in person. A really cool Bulgarian sulfide association specimen.
