Galena & Marcasite on Melnikovite (uncommon) Stoudt Coll

Item Description

Melnikovite is an uncommon finely layered sulfide gel of pyrite or marcasite and sometimes alternating between the two species. An impressive, 4.1 cm, galena-covered marcasite botryoid rests on bubby, botryoidal, scintillating marcasite, which in turn, rests on layered melnikovite. Uncommon, excellent and showy material from Olkusz from the Dave Stoudt Collection # 535 and purchased in Wasaw in September, 1998.
