SPHALERITE, GALENA, MG CALCITE SPECIMEN
The name Sphalerite is from the Greek word "Sphaleros" which means deceiving.
ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEO WERE TAKEN IN NATURAL DAYLIGHT
MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE PHOTOS REVEAL
ORIGIN : MADAN, BULGARIA
Madan, in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria, just north of the frontier with Greece, is an ancient ore-miners’ settlement. The history of mining in the Madan region extends back at least as far as the Thracians in the fifth century B.C. where the extraction of lead ore began.
Here is a fantastic example from the Madan ore field in Bulgaria featuring fine cubic silvery Galena crystals of top metallic luster and UV reactive Manganoan Calcite crystals on the highly sought after black metallic Sphalerite crystals most of which are sharp with well defined edges. Bulgaria is noted for some unusual crystal habits of Galena and this specimen is truly captivating and collectible. Manganoan Calcite crystals glow a delightful sweet bright neon watermelon pink to coral pink color under long wave ultraviolet light (see pictures). Specimen is also very interesting under magnification as there are features to explore such as the wonderful geometric formations, view the well formed Sphalerite crystals and the splendid Galena formations close up, and spot the lone terminated Quartz crystal. Although crystals are obvious to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification in order to fully enjoy the range of interesting structures. Specimen will look great on display in your collection. Highest bidder will not be disappointed. Will be a delightful addition to any mineral or rock collection. Do not miss this opportunity.

Waarom overbieden gebruikers zichzelf?
Wanneer er wordt geboden, is dit het maximale bedrag dat een gebruiker bereid is te bieden op het product. Ons systeem zal dan automatisch namens die gebruiker bieden, waarbij het bod stapsgewijs wordt verhoogd om hun positie als hoogste bieder te behouden, tot aan het opgegeven maximum.
Als er een pictogram is dat 'Automatisch bieden' aangeeft, betekent dit dat ons systeem actief biedingen plaatst voor de gebruiker op basis van hun maximumbod. Dit kan lijken alsof gebruikers zichzelf overbieden, maar het is gewoon het gevolg van het feit dat het systeem het bod bijwerkt om de maximumlimiet van de gebruiker weer te geven.
