CLEIOPHANE GALENA CRYSTALS

CLEIOPHANE GALENA CRYSTALS

A stunning Cleiophane Galena Crystal Specimen on a Quartz matrix.  Featuring many well formed crystals of Cleiophane – some on twinned Octocube Galena crystal forms.  A sprinkling of micro Chalcopyrite is noticeable.  Cleiophane is the gemmy or purer version of Sphalerite, sought after for its rarity and beauty.  An outstanding addition to the metals cabinet for a serious collector.  A real wow piece, my photos don’t do it justice.  Not common Cleiophane or twinned Octocube Galena to come by and at a bargain price.  The location is also classic of where some of the best Sphalerite, Galena and Quartz specimens are from.  Almost forgot to mention some amazing Mangano Calcite comes from here too.

Madan, Bulgaria.

5.2cm x 4.6cm x 4.6cm, 102g.
