A neat old-time Bulgarian specimen consisting of a 11.8 x 8.8 x 6.9 cm fossilized coral matrix, the front side covered by gray curving stalactitic crystallized chalcedony to 2.0 cm in length. I was told by a Bulgarian friend that this is from a place called "Rabovo" in Krumovgrad.

Pcheloyad (Ptchelojad; Pcheloiad) Mine, Rhodope Mts, Kardzali (Kurdzhali; Kărdžali; Kurdjali) Oblast, Bulgaria
