7ddcent ((GALENA, SPHALERITE, CHALCOPYRITE)), $25 MINIMUM BID, Cavnic, Romania, 6 x 6 x 3.5 cm, Miniature | |
Rounded silvery Galena with large angular brassy Chalcopyrite crystals and dark Sphalerite. This material was expensive in Tucson and the Bulgarian dealers not willing to deal at all. This particular specimen was part of the Ernie Schlichter and if bought in Tucson would have an opening bid of two or three times more. But still Ernie had a value of $125 so Tucson was in line with that. |
