Galena, Quartz & Manganoan Calcite Cluster – 9th September Mine, Bulgaria – 0.65 lbs

This exceptional Galena, Quartz, and Manganoan Calcite cluster from the historic 9th September Mine, Bulgaria weighs 0.65 lbs and measures approximately 3.5 in x 1.7 in x 3.4 in, featuring a beautiful combination of metallic galena, sparkling quartz, and a rare fluorescent calcite association.

The specimen showcases bright metallic galena crystals with classic geometric crystal structure nestled among shimmering quartz crystal growth. Adding further collector appeal is a naturally associated Manganoan Calcite crystal, which fluoresces a vibrant red color when exposed to 365nm UV light.

Sourced from old stock material from the renowned 9th September Mine, this specimen represents a classic Bulgarian mineral association highly sought after by collectors. The contrast between metallic galena, sparkling quartz, and UV-reactive calcite creates a display piece that is equally impressive under both standard and ultraviolet lighting.

Mineralogical Notes:
Galena is a lead sulfide mineral known for its metallic luster and cubic crystal habit. Quartz commonly forms in hydrothermal vein systems alongside galena. Manganoan Calcite is a manganese-bearing variety of calcite famous for its bright red to pink fluorescence under longwave ultraviolet light.

Metaphysical Associations (for those who work with crystals):
Galena is often associated with grounding and stability, quartz with clarity and amplification, and calcite with emotional balance and positive energy.
