Quartz and Calcite on Pyrrhotite from Russia
Approx. Dimensions: 4x4.25x3 inches
Approx. Weight: 646 grams
Locality: Nikolaevskiy Mine, Dalnegorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia
This specimen is a very heavy piece due to the large makeup of pyrrhotite, with calcite and quartz perched atop. The calcite is fluorescent, and overall this specimen is in excellent condition.
The Nikolaevskiy Mine, located in the Dalnegorsk mining district of Russia, is a world-renowned lead-zinc deposit known for producing exceptionally well-crystallized sulfide minerals. Active mainly during the mid-20th century, the mine is celebrated by collectors for complex mineral associations like this one, making specimens from Nikolaevskiy highly desirable examples of classic Russian mineralogy.
