MANGANOAN CALCITE, GALENA, SPHALERITE SPECIMEN
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.
A wonderful example from the Madan ore field in Bulgaria
which is noted for some unusual crystal habits of Galena. This 'melted'
Galena specimen is truly captivating and collectible with its
well formed UV reactive Manganoan Calcite crystals which glow under long
wave ultraviolet light
(see pictures) and minor black Sphalerite. Specimen is interesting under magnification, view the splendid
Galena formations from close up and spot the well formed Calcite crystals. Specimen will look
great on display in your collection.
Will be a delightful addition to any mineral or rock collection. Do not
miss this opportunity.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
