Description
A specimen of galena and chalcopyrite from Krushev Dol in the Madan mining district of Bulgaria. The piece features a highly sculptural and intricate growth of galena, crowned by small tufts of chalcopyrite that are elegantly perched across its surface. The brass-yellow color of the chalcopyrite provides an excellent contrast to the metallic grey of the galena, while the specimen’s overall balance, composition, and aesthetic appeal make it an exceptional example from this historically important Bulgarian mining district.
