Item Description

Here is a fine and complex association specimen from the famous Madan Ore Field, which has produced some of the finest crystallized sulfides in the world. Featured are brassy and partially iridescent crystals of Chalcopyrite measuring up to 1.4 cm across. These are mixed with well-formed, silvery-grey Galena crystals (in two habits), lustrous Sphalerite crystals, white Quartz (in two habits), and shiny Pyrite crystals. This is an excellent, highly representative piece for Madan, so rich in quality sulfide crystal combination specimens. Better in person, as it is difficult to photograph.
