511-9ldgcar ((CALCITE with BOULANGERITE inclusions, SPHALERITE, PYRRHOTITE)), $25 MINIMUM BID, Baia Mare, Maramures County, Romania, 10 x 8 x 5 cm, Cabinet, | |
This specimen has spherical clusters of Calcite with Boulangerite inclusions causing the grey color. This is what I original thought but looping confirms. Massive Sphalerite is on the bottom aka back side. The bladed crystals are either Pyrrhotite or Barite. There does look like small areas of massive Pyrrhotite but the blades may be Barite. There are also Siderite crystals on the Barite and or Pyrrhotite crystals. ex H Desinger collection. |
