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 is a sparkly cluster of small Cerussite crystals cornered by pink bladed barite on a bed of galena. 

Barite crystal formations grow in parallel sheets that almost appear fibrous. It is well-known for its great range of colors and varied crystal forms and habits. 

Galena is the most important ore of lead, and has been used for its lead content for thousands of years. Galena metallic gray luster is the perfect base for this trio of minerals.
