Crystals & Minerals

Galena is a mineral composed of lead sulfide (PbS) with a cubic crystal structure. It has a silver-gray color with a metallic luster and the crystals have formed in the octahedron shape. Galena is historically significant as a source of lead, used in various applications, and is still important in modern industries. It is found globally, often associated with minerals like sphalerite and pyrite.

This top specimen is covered with huge pyrite interlocked cubes with quartz crystals and galena. This specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

The Lead–Zinc deposits of Madan Ore Field (Southwest Rhodopy Mountains) were operated by the Turks in the Middle Ages. Greek coins from Tassos island dating from 14th century AD, have been found in the ancient galleries. As well, the name of the Madan field, which in Turkish means Ore, originates from that time. 

The Madan Ore Field is built up mainly of the highly crystalline rocks of the lower (Ar) and upper (Pt) metamorphic units which form the Madan dome structure. The Lead–Zinc deposits of the Madan Ore Field are represented by: 1. Ore veins of Quartz–Carbonate–Sulphide composition, and 2. Metasomatic scarn deposits of Johannsenite–Rhodonite or Quartz–Sulphide composition.

This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This unique combination features Cerussite’s striking luster and crystalline form, Barite’s delicate layers, and the dense stability of Galena. Cerussite derives its color primarily from lead, giving it an exquisite range from colorless to white and gray. Barite can appear in various hues, and is well-known for its great range of colors. Historically, Cerussite has been admired since ancient times, often used in decorative arts and as a lead ore. This spectacular cluster is commonly found in regions like Morocco, Mexico, and the USA.

Cerussite is believed to promote clarity and insight, enhancing one’s perception of the world. Barite is said to ground energies, fostering emotional stability and balance.
