Mirror bright lustrous metallic crystals of galena measuring to 1.5 cm are in size across the top of matrix with crystallized quartz. This is in great condition. Wonderful example for the species for this Romanian locality.The Ruschita Mine, located near Rusca Montana in Caras-Severin County, Romania, is situated within the Poiana Rusca Mountains of the Southern Carpathians. Geologically, the deposit consists of massive epimetamorphic marble lenses formed during the Devonian period from ancient coral reefs, which later underwent intense regional dynamo-thermal metamorphism within a complex tectonic setting.
