This entire specimen is covered with many quartz, sphalerite and pyrite crystals.
The deposit known as Dalnegorsk is mined by several different mines. The vast majority of the minerals from Dalnegorsk in collections have no reference to the individual mines. The mines are the Brenner mine (with the Svetlana adit and Olga adit), Nikolaevsky mine, Zentralnye mine, Verkhnii mine, East Partizan, 1st Sovietsky mine and 2nd Sovietsky Mine. There are probably more mines. The name "Tjetjuche" means "valley of the wild pigs" and is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk. On older mineral labels this name can be seen.
This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
