Single crystal galena pillars as highly anisometric dissolution forms

Ivan K. Bonev, and Clive M. Rice

Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Geological Institute, Sofia, Bulgaria
University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Remarkable single crystal galena formations in the unique form of cylindrical or steep conical "pillars" with "capitals" of small rhombododecahedral single crystals of sphalerite, are described. It is suggested that the pillars result from a highly specific process of anisotropic mineral dissolution controlled by a system of internal channels in the original skeletal crystals and represent a kind of dissolution whiskers.
