A STRIKING CABINET specimen of mirror-bright, stepped-face and spinel-twinned galena crystals aesthetically set on a bed of transparent, colorless quartz crystals from recent finds at the Borieva Mine at Madan, Bulgaria. A classic and very showy sulfide specimen with very few broken quartz crystals. The quartz crystals are preferentially dusted on the backside with tiny chlorite crystals, which gives the crystals the greenish-gray appearance. Accompanied by an old label from the 1990s.
