An interesting specimen of galena from Dal'Negorsk, Russia: A massive galena crystal with another one attached; the surface of the main crystal shows a bizarre texture, maybe growth structures?
A question related to this specimen: Any idea which of the several mines in Dal'Negorsk could be the origin of those galenas? Or did they occur everywhere in that far-eastern locality?
Cheers!
Tobi

Thank you, Jordi, but i guess this will be very difficult or even impossible to find out :-/
Another specimen, fluorapatite from Brazil. Please forgive me the bad picture quality; i tried and tried but i'm doing lousy photos at the moment. When you look at the recently posted specimens, only the galena has acceptable picture quality, the others are bad. Maybe there's something wrong with the camera, i will check this :-(
