Item Description
This is an eye-catching a fine quality specimen from the famous Deveti Septemvri Mine in Bulgaria. Dozens of sharp, lustrous, well-formed, metallic silvery-grey colored cuboctahedral Galena crystals measuring up to 8 mm are sitting on a thin layer of dark brown Sphalerite which have formed ''casts'' (epimorphs/perimorphs) after Calcite. You can see the hollow indentations of the former Calcite crystals (which were dissolved away) on the underside of the piece. The specimen is in great condition all over, and it's certainly one of the best "casts" that we've had to offer from this historic locality. From the collection of Dr. Barratt Phillips.
