A superb specimen of pyrite with hematite coating, galena, quartz and sphalerite from 9th Septemvri mine, Madan ore field, Bulgaria. Very attractive arrangement of one pyrite crystal sitting at the top of spiky quartz cluster. It is colored in brown-red due to hematite coating. The galena cubes are lustrous, shiny and sharp. Sharp, chunky and transparent quartz crystals form the base. Black sphalerite and other pyrite crystals are seen too. Some small damages.

Fantastic!
