Lot 90 | GALENA
Estimate value
£ 1 000 – 2 000
From the Krushev dol deposit, Madan ore field, Smolyan Province, the specimen is composed of spinel-law twinned crystals and modified octahedrons that are steel-gray in colour and mirror-bright in luster. The interesting and varied habits of the crystals, many of which are also beautifully hoppered, or “hollowed-out” in appearance, cascade off the matrix. There is a smattering of white calcites that provide a lovely contrast to the elegant galena crystals.
7 x 41/2 x 31/2in. (18.5 x 11.5 x 9cm.)
