Galena

Locality: Krushev dol deposit (Krusov dol deposit), Krushev dol mine, Madan ore field, Rhodope Mts, Smolyan Oblast, Bulgaria

1.0 x 2.9 x 2.4 cm. A beautiful spinel-twinned galena specimen, this one, without matrix. You can see the complex and pretty epitaxial growth on the crystal faces in the pic. Those are little quartz crystals growing off of the galena. This fine twin is lustrous and well-formed on BOTH sides.
