The Gheturi Mine is located near the town of Turt in extreme Northwestern Romania near the Hungarian border. It was overlooked for years by the collecting community because specimens were few and far between. This all changed just a few years ago when superb pockets of galenas and siderite pseudomorphs starting showing up. This specimen is a plate of galena crystals covered with a druse of light brown siderite and then sprinkled over with lustrous black sphalerites. There is an isolated later-stage galena, 2 x 3 cm, set near the center of the specimen and perfectly displayed. This galena has nearly equal development of the cube and octahedron which is classic from this location. Mined 2003. In top condition. 3.2 x 6.4 x 9.2 cm.
