DB93AD9: Galena with Sphalerite, Calcite, Tetrahedrite (Group) and Chalcopyrite

Cubic Galena crystals with small octahedral faces. They are very well defined and bright, with polycrystalline and skeletal growths. They are associated with Sphalerite (marmatite variety), Tetrahedrite, Chalcopyrite and are coated with white growths of Calcite microcrystals. The specimen comes from the prestigious Desmond Sacco collection. Dalnegorsk is one of the most important mineralogical districts in the Russian Far East, well known for the high quality and diversity of its mineral species. Geologically, the area is characterized by skarn-type mineralization and hydrothermal deposits associated with Mesozoic igneous intrusions. These systems have produced a wide variety of minerals, including lead, zinc and boron species, with abundant secondary minerals formed in oxidation zones. Dalnegorsk is especially famous for its Fluorite, Galena, Calcite and a wide diversity of borate minerals.

19CMP14: Galena, Baryte, Calcite

Group formed by three interpenetrating Galena crystals, one of them clearly dominant, with perfectly defined faces and edges and with polycrystalline growths on some of the crystal faces. Characteristic lead-grey color and dull luster, accompanied by whitish tabular Baryte crystals on the back of the piece and small scattered remnants of Calcite. Comes from a mining district which exploited Pb and Zn minerals for a century. This specimen comes from the former collection (duplicates) of Carles Curto (number 1982.43), whose label we will send to the buyer.

Main crystal size: 3.7 × 3.1 × 3.0 cm = 1.46” × 1.22” × 1.18”

21TQX36: Galena, Baryte, Cerussite, Plumbogummite, Quartz, Wulfenite

A novelty at the Sainte Marie 2021 Virtual show. Group of equant Galena crystals coated with white Cerussite microcrystals. They are also partially covered by Plumbogummite with a slightly bluish color and Quartz microcrystals, and on top of this small bipyramidal transparent yellow Wulfenite crystals. Above this ensemble are salmon-colored Quartz crystals and lamellar Baryte crystals. The specimen comes from a 2021 find in the Georges vein in the Sidi Ayad area. It has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analyses of the various species to the buyer.

21TTX13: Galena, Cerussite, Plumbogummite, Quartz, Wulfenite

A novelty at the Sainte Marie 2021 Virtual show. Group of equant Galena crystals coated with white Cerussite microcrystals. They are also partially covered by Plumbogummite with a slightly bluish color and Quartz microcrystals, and on top of this small bipyramidal Wulfenite crystals, transparent and yellow. Above this there are Quartz crystals. The specimen comes from a 2021 find in the Georges vein in the Sidi Ayad area. It has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analyses of the various species to the buyer.
Georges vein, Sidi Ayad (Sidi Ayed), Boulemane Province, Fès-Meknès Region Morocco (03/2021)

19TVR14: Galena, Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Calcite

Isolated crystals of Galena with pentadodecahedral forms modified by cube faces, and showing dissolution and corrosion figures on some faces and polycrystalline growths on others, on a matrix covered by slightly pink carbonates formed by intergrowths of Rhodochrosite and Calcite. Finally, the combination is adorned with a good number of water-clear Quartz crystals, some of them aerial. The Trepča mining complex is one of the largest polymetallic deposits in the world and for many years produced exceptional pieces, and still now, of Sphalerite as well as various combinations of sulphides and carbonates, as displayed in this specimen from the former collections of Ferat Voca.

23TJX14: Galena, Sphalerite, Calcite

Group of cubo-octahedral Galena crystals with metallic luster, one of them clearly dominant and implanted in a matrix formed by Sphalerite and small aggregates of Calcite.
