Quartz crystals and Pyrite mineral specimen from the Madan field in Bulgaria.
A wonderful example from the Madan ore field in Bulgaria consisting of terminated Quartz crystals along with shiny golden Pyrite crystals all over the specimen.
Madan, in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria, just north of the frontier with Greece, is an ancient ore-miners’ settlement. The history of mining in the Madan region extends back at least as far as the Thracians in the fifth century B.C. where the extraction of lead ore began.
Thank you for watching.

A wonderful example for the locality of electric blue Linarite on host rock. Linarite from this locality is considered to be very rare because the small mine is hard to find “lost” in the heavily forested hills. With a partly collapsed entrance and the main tunnel full of water, mining activity is extremely rare. Linarite is not a common mineral, it is a somewhat rare crystalline mineral that i...
