Rosell Minerales

Group of geocronite-jordanite crystals, with striated pseudohexagonal shapes. They have a lighter gray sheen than the galena with which they are often associated. The analyzes show a correlation between geocronite-jordanite, both are isostructural and form series. The crystals analyzed (both these that we present and others) show that the composition moves in the intermediate zone of the series. Therefore, the correct thing would be to label these specimens as geocronite-jordanite, avoiding saying that they are only geochronite. We will send all analyzes to the buyer.
The geocronite-jordanite crystals are accompanied by crystals of sphalerite, of galena, associated with transparent crystals of green fluorite, both cubo-octahedral, the latter truncated by the faces of the cube and the trapezohedron.

Size: 5.5 x 4.1 x 3.5 cm.
Main crystal: 8 mm.
Found in 2022.

The geocronite-jordanite crystals are found on a matrix formed by complex sphalerite crystals, almost black in color, associated with transparent green fluorite crystals, octahedral cubes, truncated by the cube and trapezohedron faces.

Analyzed specimen with report

Numerous well-defined and interpenetrated sphalerite crystals are arranged on a matrix with quartz crystals, accompanied by pyrite crystals. In the upper part, a group of chalcopyrite crystals with some indentation, which allows us to see the color and brilliance.

Size: 6 x 4.4 x 4.3 cm.
Main crystal: 1.6 cm.
Found in ±1984.

Col. Manchion (Barcelona).

Groups of aggregates of rhodochrosite crystals, of a delicate pink color, brilliant. They are accompanied by colorless aggregates of small quartz crystals. Very aesthetic.

Size: 5.6 x 4.1 x 2.2 cm.
Found in ca. 1988.

Col. Antonio Trigo (Mataró).

An old specimen of this Peruvian mine that shows a large group of cubic galena crystals, interpenetrated, with its characteristic gray tone. They have stepped growths on the faces and some natural cavities, which give them a differentiated appearance.

Size: 11 x 9 x 6 cm.
Main crystal: 2.0 cm.
Found in 11/1985.

#185 Col. Manchion (Barcelona).

Group of chalcopyrite crystals, one of good size, with defined shapes arranged on quartz hyaline crystals. An aesthetic miniature.

Size: 5.2 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm.
Main crystal: 1.6 cm.
Found in ±1987.
