{"product_id":"galena-with-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-quartz-and-siderite","title":"GALENA with SPHALERITE   CHALCOPYRITE, QUARTZ and  SIDERITE","description":"For just $400 this complex cabinet specimen of Galena with Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite, Quartz and Siderite will engage your attention for a disproportionate time, with its numerous crystal habits, textures, colours and lustres! Essentially it’s a Galena from the richly mineralised Dalnegorsk mining district in the Far-Eastern Region of Russia; but what an incredible Galena! The underlying matrix is that of massive bright silver Galena over which Galena has crystalised in various habits, the crowning glory of which is a parallel set of 2.5 cm tall by 3.5 cm wide pseudohexagonal crystals. I think I can spot several spinel twins and many crystals have the ‘melted Galena’ appearance surrounded by skeletal and hopper habits. The Sphalerite forms as black crystals to 2 cm with a faint greenish cast. The odd brassy Chalcopyrite crystal can be spotted amongst 3 to 4 mm tall opaque milky Quartz crystals, while a preferential coating of light biscuit tan Siderite covers much of the back.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46584778719407,"sku":"CC32125","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC32125.png?v=1771856157","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/galena-with-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-quartz-and-siderite","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
