Description:A showy and excellent, CABINET, combination specimen from a 2006 find at the Krushev dol Mine, Madan, Bulgaria. Scintillating, gemmy, olive-green, sphalerite crystals (many twinned) richly cover the sulfide matrix covered with lustrous, small, spinel-twinned, galena crystals. A very small bit of bruising is noted, but these are exceptionally gemmy sphalerites for the locality and this is a highly impressive combo piece for the species and locale, that displays well. Valued $500-750. Ex Brent Lockhart Collection.
