Description from the seller

Quartz var. Multigeneration from Krushev dol Mine, Madan Municipality, Smolyan Province, Bulgaria.

Elegant multigeneration quartz from the famous Krushev dol Mine, Madan Municipality, Smolyan Province, Bulgaria. Successive generations of sharply terminated quartz crystals overgrow one another, creating a dense, three-dimensional forest of points with excellent luster and attractive internal zoning.

This classic piece from the Madan ore field beautifully illustrates the complex growth history of hydrothermal quartz, making it not only visually striking but also scientifically interesting. A fine addition for collectors of Bulgarian minerals and sophisticated quartz formations.

From the historic and mineralogically rich Krushev dol Mine in Bulgaria’s renowned Madan ore field, this example is highly sought after by collectors for its exceptional crystallography and aesthetic appeal. The specimen’s pristine condition highlights the top-quality galena form typical for this location, making it a standout addition in any fine mineral collection.
