Description from the seller
Quartz cluster from Krushev dol Mine, Madan Municipality, Smolyan Province, Bulgaria.
An attractive quartz specimen from the Krushev Dol Mine, Madan Municipality, Smolyan Province, Bulgaria, featuring a well-developed cluster of intergrown quartz crystals with a natural and aesthetic arrangement.
The specimen displays multiple quartz crystals forming an appealing three-dimensional cluster, with lustrous crystal faces and a pleasing overall structure. The harmonious combination of crystal transparency, texture, and form highlights the beauty of quartz formed within the complex hydrothermal veins of the Madan mining district.
The Madan ore district is world-renowned among mineral collectors for its exceptional sulphide and quartz specimens, particularly associations of quartz with galena, sphalerite, calcite, and other hydrothermal minerals. Specimens from the Krushev Dol Mine are valued for their classic Balkan provenance and distinctive mineral character.
A fine cabinet specimen combining elegant crystal growth, natural beauty, and provenance from one of Bulgaria’s most celebrated mineral localities.
