Classic Galena crystals with yellow Dolomite Specimen - Height: 10 cm - Width: 9.5 cm- 600 g
Classic Galena crystals with yellow Dolomite from Turț Mine (Ghezuri Mine), Turț, Satu Mare County, Romania.
Classic, sharply defined galena crystals attractively associated with a yellow dolomite, from the renowned Turț Mine. The specimen features lustrous grey galena and octahedra perched atop a matrix sprinkled with tiny, golden-yellow dolomite crystals, creating an appealing contrast of colour and form.
Turț Mine is celebrated across Romania for producing remarkable replacement minerals, and these pseudomorphs are highly sought after for their rarity and scientific significance. This piece stands out for its crisp preservation of original pyrrhotite geometry and beautiful metallic sheen, making it a superb addition to any sophisticated collection of Romanian classics.
The Turț Mine (Ghezuri Mine) in Satu Mare County, Romania was ordered to close permanently in 2007, following government directives for mine closures.
