RM1000 Galena with quartz and pyrite
Palomo mine, Castrovirreyna, Huancavelica, PeruVery interesting galena crystal, remarkable for its crystallography. It presents the cube and octahedron faces with a very balanced proportion. Brilliant, well disposed on a matrix with quartz crystals with an elongated prism an some brilliant pyritohedrons. A Peruvian aesthetic especimen.
Size: 7.0 x 4.6 x 3.5 cm.
Main crystal: 18 x 16 mm.
RM736 Realgar with pararealgar, seligmanite and galena
Palomo Mine, Castrovirreyna, Huancavelica, PeruThis specimen shows several mineral species. The matrix which "supports" all of them is a group of huge size galena crystals with sharp cube-octahedral faces. Partially covering them we can see large groups of flattened realgar crystals. As alteration of these realgar crystals, due to the light, we have a patina, between yellow to orange, pararealgar. Between these galena crystals some orpiment aggregates, with a very intense yellow color.
We would like to emphisize in this specimen the presence of numerous seligmanite (PbCuAsS3) prismatic crystals, with a luster that makes them stand out. Evidently magnification is necessary to enjoy all their forms. Accompanied by chalcopyrite, pyrite and quartz. As you can see, it is a complete and representative specimen from this Peruvian mine.
Size: 7,5 x 6,0 x 5,5 cm.
