DESCRIPTION
A superb large cabinet specimen showcasing a complex and highly aesthetic mix of minerals: Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite, Pyrite, delicate needle Quartz, and elegant bladed Calcite florets. The contrasting crystal habits create a dynamic, multi‑textured display — metallic sulphides paired with bright Quartz needles and sculptural Calcite blades.
The Sphalerite shows rich lustre, while the Chalcopyrite and Pyrite add golden metallic highlights throughout the cluster. The Calcite florets provide a crisp, architectural finish, making this a visually balanced and collector‑grade piece. Its size, mineral diversity, and clean presentation make it ideal for curated mineral displays or advanced Bulgarian collections.
