SPHALERITE, GALENA SPECIMEN

The name Sphalerite is from the Greek word "Sphaleros" which means deceiving.

ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEO WERE TAKEN IN NATURAL DAYLIGHT

MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE PHOTOS REVEAL

ORIGIN : MADAN, BULGARIA

Madan, in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria, just north of the frontier with Greece, is an ancient ore-miners’ settlement. The history of mining in the Madan region extends back at least as far as the Thracians in the fifth century B.C. where the extraction of lead ore began.

A wonderful example with a nice luster from the Madan ore field in Bulgaria featuring the highly sought after black metallic tetrahedral Sphalerite crystals on 'melted' Galena. Specimen is also interesting under magnification as there are features to explore, view the well formed Sphalerite crystals and the Galena formations close up, and spot the white UV reactive Calcite crystal which glows a pinkish color under longwave. Although crystals are obvious to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification in order to fully enjoy the range of interesting structures. Will be a delightful addition to any mineral or rock collection. Do not miss this opportunity.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
