Description

Attractive combination specimen from Bulgaria, featuring metallic, highly lustrous sphalarite associated with snow-white quartz needles. The sphalarite occurs as sharply formed, reflective crystals with strong metallic sheen, contrasting clearly with the fine acicular quartz growth. The association is well balanced, with both minerals cleanly exposed and naturally intergrown. A visually strong and well-preserved combination piece from Bulgaria, notable for its contrast, crystallization quality, and overall aesthetic impact.
