Product Overview
GHETURI MINE, TURT, OASULUI MOUNTAINS, SATU MARE, ROMANIA
The Gheturi Mine has produced some of the most unusual and unique combinations and assemblages in the district. This might be the case because it is located on the extreme northwest fringe of the area and as such might have substantially different geologic setting. This is a specimen from a unique pocket of ball-like groups of lustrous black sphalerite that was found in 2005. The sphalerites are randomly oriented over the rounded surfaces which may indicate they are pseudomorphs after a previous species, perhaps a carbonate, and there are small quartzes that have been replaced by light greenish/gray chalcedony. The back of the piece has numerous pyrite crystals and there are a couple of chalcopyrites in combination with the sphalerite. Small cabinet at 3 x 7 x 10 cm.
