Vote for your favorite mineral in #MinCup26! - Sphalerite vs. Anorthite
Both zinc ore Sphalerite and calcium plagioclase feldspar Anorthite have perfect cleavage that will split cleanly if you hit them with a hammer, but only one can claim a larger split of your votes!

Ľubietová-Peklo Cu-(±Ag) ore occurrence is located about 20 km to the E from Banská Bystrica (district city) and about 3.7 km to the ENE from Ľubietová village. Subvertical quartz-carbonate veins (NE-SW to E-W direction) with ore minerals intersect both, migmatitised orthogneisses (Lower Paleozoic) and Permian greywackes of the Veporic Unit. Ore veins are intersected and displaced by NW-SE directed younger tectonic structures (often with development of quartz veins without ore mineralization). Ore mineralization originated in the following stages: I.) pyrite-arsenopyrite stage (quartz I, pyrite, arsenopyrite, cobaltite I); II.) bournonite stage (bournonite-seligmannite, galena); III) carbonate stage (dolomite-Fe dolomite, barite) and quartz-sulphidic stage (quartz II, cobaltite II, sphalerite, chalcopyrite I and II, tetrahedrite, tennantite). Supergene zone is represented by small amounts of cerussite, malachite and goethite.
